y otras claras, otras muy azules. Son preciosas. Lábranse como las de las navajas. Son raras, y pienso de más virtud que las arriba dichas.
\nHay en esta tierra unas piedras que son del género de las arriba dichas, las cuales se llaman xiuhmatlalitztli. Y según da [sic] relaci[ón] de la letra es zafiro. Dice que es piedra muy preciosa, más que todas las piedras, y dice que es como la gota de agua que sale de la leña verde cuando se quema, la cual gota es clarísima y algo azul, muy claro. Esta piedra, siendo labrada como las navajas, resplandece de noche. Es esta piedra preciosísima. Hállase en las mismas minas donde se sacan las piedras de las navajas; pero parecen raramente, y guárdanlas mucho. Son de gran virtud, más que la esmeralda. Yo tengo expeciencia de la virtud y hermusura desta piedra.
\nHay unas piedras negras que se llaman téutetl. Tienen apariencia de azabache. Son raras, y tienen un negro muy fino, sin mezcla de ningún otro color, el cual negro y su fineza y su pureza no se halla en ningún otra piedra. No carece de mucha virtud, aunque yo no tengo esperiencia della.
