So easily aroused are thesenses by any strong appeal of external nature that the brilliancyof the quartz, the flash of pyrite, the dominant tints of agate, and thegreens, reds, purples, and yellows of rocks could not long haveremained unobserved. Industrial needs and the house instinct,with its later architectural developments, soon led men to explorethe mineral resources of the land, and to start in motion thoseuseful and artistic studies that created metallurgy and , long before the quarries of Paria and Syene had been s
