Hay otras piedras que se llaman chalchihuites. Son verdes, y no trasparentes, mezcladas de blanco. Úsanlas mucho los principales, trayéndolas a las muñecas, atadas en hilo. Y aquello es señal de que es persona noble el que la trayen; a los macehuales no era lícito traella.
\nHay otras piedras que se llama xíhuitl. Éstas son turquesas bajas. Estas turquesas son hedidas y manchadas. No son recias. Algunas dellas son cuadradas y otras de otras figuras. Labran con ellas de mosaico, haciendo cruces o imágines, y otras piezas.
