The Earth's Compendium — Lapidary
The companion to The Restart Manual for rocks, minerals, and ores: stone, clay, salt, ore, and crystal — how to recognise them, which are safe to heat, cut, or eat from, and which are dangerous, and what each is good for.
Every claim is sourced, every entry links to the Restart Manual chapters that teach the methods, and every entry is dated and updated as knowledge changes.
