Rare première édition, premier tirage, de ce traité estimé et recherché sur l’activité minière et la métallurgie par l’orfèvre parisien P. de Rosnel (« orfèvre ordinaire du roy »). Sinkankas 5569 ; Sabin 73297 ; Ferguson, II, 295 ; Cp. Duveen p. 516 ; Caillet 9597 ; Hoover 692; Sinkankis 5569. Divisé en deux parties, “The first part of the much esteemed and sought for work by the Parisian goldsmith is a mining and metallurgical treatise in which gold, silver, and mercury are described in respect to their mines and methods of mining, purification of ores by smelting or otherwise, and refinement of the metals. Special emphasis is laid upon the New World.... [La seconde partie] precedes the publication of the standard method of pricing as described by J. E. Tavernier, Les Six voyages, 1767, often cited as the earliest publication of the rule, and by far anticipates the similar rule published by David Jeffries in his A Treatise on Diamonds and Gems, 1750" (Sinkankis). La seconde partie présente un grand intérêt gemmologique, traitant de l’origine des pierres précieuses et décrivant le diamant, le rubis, le spinelle, le saphir, le topaze, l’émeraude… les perles, l’agate, le jade, et les grandes pierres ornementales ; à la fin, un chapitre est consacré à l’évaluation des pierres précieuses, présentant de manière réaliste et en détail la méthode employée pour attribuer une valeur aux pierres taillées. Comme l’auteur le souligne, "The most perfect [pearls] are fished in the Persian Gulf, between the island of Hormuz & Basra, near Qatifa, Gombroon & Julfar" (p. 35). "This was long considered one of the best manuals of the gold- and silversmith's trade. Rosnel rejected the alchemists and displayed a profound knowledge of metals and alloys" (Hoover). " Pierre de Rosnel, orfèvre français, fut le joaillier en titre de Louis XIII. Dans la dernière partie du Mercure Indien il "provides a mathematical system for adjusting prices of diamonds upwards at a steepening rate with increasing weight" (Sinkankas), précédant ainsi la publication de la méthode standard de tarification décrite par Tavernier (Les Six Voyages, 1767). L’ouvrage est dédié à Le Tellier avec ses armoiries gravées sur les deux titres. Précieux exemplaire conservé dans sa reliure de l’époque.
