Excerpt: ... powdered alumina compounds are strongly ignited in the oxidizing flame, then moistened with nitrate of cobalt, and re-ignited in the oxidizing flame, an infusible mass is left, which appears, when cooled, of an intense blue color. The presence of colored metallic oxides, in considerable quantity, will alter or suppress this reaction. The silicates of the alkalies produce, in a very strong heat, or continued heat, with nitrate of cobalt, a pale blue color. The blue color produced by alumina is only distinctly visible by daylight; by candle-light it appears of a dirty violet color. (b.) Glucina. (G2O3).
