La couleur du trait, appelée simplement «trait», ou trace, est [...] un moyen [...] significatif de détermination des minéraux. La coloration d'un minéral ou d'une variété est généralement due à des impuretés en trace ou à des dérangements du réseau cristallin, et est donc une couleur étrangère au minéral. Au contraire, la couleur du trait reproduit fidèlement la couleur propre d'une espèce minérale, qui est unique et indépendante des variétés de coloration. 4, record 3, French, - trait

Petuntse. The gallicized form of the Chinese pai-tun-tzu, first employed by Jesuit missionaries in the 18th century to describe the rock which forms an essential part of true porcelain manufacture. It is a silicate of potassium and aluminium, normally referred to as a feldspathic rock. It was first used, about the 3rd century BC, in China for glazing protoporcelain and later, about the 9th century AD, was mixed with kaolin(white china clay) to form the body of the first translucent porcelain. Petuntse is a fusible rock which, fired at a sufficiently high temperature, becomes a natural glass, like obsidian. It gives porcelain both its hardness and translucency. 4, record 8, English, - petuntse
