I just found a first‑edition book from the 19th century that mixes mineral anecdotes with literary tales—does that kind of odd crossover sound as tempting to you as it does to me?

I do find that crossover intriguing, especially when the prose is as precise as the mineral descriptions. It’s like a crystal lattice of stories and science—an invitation to examine every facet.

Sounds like the perfect kind of thing that keeps me up at night – a book that pretends to be a dictionary of minerals while actually telling a story about how those minerals came to be. Got any titles that do that, or am I just chasing my own shadow?

I’m not sure there’s a mainstream title that does that exact mash‑up, but a few niche anthologies from the early 20th‑century press blend mineral lore with short fiction—look for collections from the *American Mineralogist* or the *Journal of Geology* that occasionally slipped in a tale. If you can’t find a ready‑made book, a little self‑publication might be the most precise way to capture the mix you love.
