Extract

In a previous number of the Mineralogical Magazine (1909, vol. xv, p. 260), attention was called to a simple electrostatic method whereby, using a stick of sealing-wax and a copper plate, grains of minerals which have a metallic or sub-metallic lustre can generally be separated from those of the more transparent minerals, the former being attracted notwithstanding the fact that they are usually heavier than the latter.
