Additional Notes: |
|
| Dutch ..... Een wit, geel of grijs (en in zeldzame gevallen groen of rood) serpentijn. Het is zo flexibel dat de oude Romeinen er lijkwaden van zouden hebben gemaakt om de as van de overledene en die van de brandstof gescheiden te houden. |
| Spanish ..... Serpentinita que puede ser blanca, amarilla o gris, pero rara vez verde o roja. Es tan flexible que se dice que los antiguos Romanos fabricaban sudarios para evitar que las cenizas del muerto se mezclaran con las del combustible..
