Abstract
Most of what we understand about the ancient knowledge of the origins and properties of rocks and minerals comes from the surviving works of two classical writers: the
On Stones
of Theophrastus (ca. 372–287
bce
), and the
Natural History
(books 33–37) of Pliny the Elder (ca. 23–79
ce
). There are also scattered mineralogical references in other texts, such as the
Library of History
of Diodorus of Sicily, the
Geography
of Strabo of Amaseia, and the epigrams of Posidippus of Pella. Many of the names given to stones by the ancient authors survive in the modern mineralogical and petrological nomenclature.
