Excerpt from A Manual of Determinative Mineralogy, With Tables: For the Determination of Minerals, by Means Of: I. Their Physical Characters, II. Blowpipe and Chemical Properties

Determinations based on physical characters often require con firmatory blowpipe tests, however, and, in the author's opinion, nothing can take the place of thorough drill for the student in blow pipe and chemical methods and in the use of tables based upon them. Chemical composition is the most fundamental property of minerals, and many species, particularly among the ores, can be determined with certainty only by means of chemical tests.
