They completely melt orpiment in a glass bottle on very hot ashes, but it would be more appropriate to sublimate orpiment in a long—necked matrass as for making garnets. The orpiment thus turns red like red enamel & one needs to grind it damp because once completely melted it is very lively & difficult to grind. Next, you can br thin it, once dry, with oil & it will make a deep yellow of heightened color. But to prevent orpiment from dying with the other colors & to render it compatible with these & to make it dry promptly, it is a most rare secret to calcine common salt & to grind it within. Green verditer is not used with oil.
