Wait shows:â Ferrous oxide, per cent 0-27 Ferric oxide, per cent 0-41 Sulphur, per cent 0-11 As this stone and the one from Logans quarry are the only Medina stonesexamined in detail, it is interesting to compare the physical tests of the twotypes, particularly as, to the naked eye, or even under the hand lens, thereis little difference to be observed. The microscopic examination of the twospecimens shows that in the Logan stone the grains are unequal in size, with. -0
