Estas piedras creo que son esmeraldas negras por la virtud que dellas he experimentado: molidas como harina y echadas en llagas o heridas recientes, las sanan muy en breven, y no las dexan criar materia. Molidas como se dixo, mezcladas con carne de menbrillo, o con cualquiera otra conserva, muy amasadas de manera que la conserva tome la arena o harina en cantidad, comida tanto como una píldora, o dos o tres, son muy provechosas contra las reumas, y dan gran sonoridad a la voz. Mitigan cualquiera calor interior. Esto sé por experiencia de muchos días.
\nHubo antiguamente en esta tierra, y aún todavía las hay, según se hallan pedazos dellas en diversos edificios antiguos, unas piedras verdes claras que llaman toltecaitztli. Son preciosas y pienso más virtuosas que las de arriba.
\nHay otras piedras deste género que se llama matlalitztli. Son azules oscuras,

\n[The name of one is black obsidian.]1 The name of one is white obsidian. It is not very black; it is somewhat white; its thin places are where it appears white, like rock crystal. A yellow one named itzcuinitztli is as if tawny-striped. The name of one is green obsidian; it is somewhat blue.

\nI shatter an obsidian nodule; I flake the obsidian.
\nThe name of this comes from matlalin [blue] and itztli [obsidian]
