3UREDEO\JDUQHW$ beautiful gem of a deep red color (with a mixture of scarlet) called
by the Greeks anthrax; found in the east indies. when held up to the sun, it loses its deep
tinge, and becomes of the color of burning coal. the name belongs for the most part to ruby
sapphire, though it has been also given to red spinel and garnet.
