† sapparn.

Forms: Also sappare.

Etymology: < French sappare (De Saussure 1789 in Jrnl. de Physique XXXIV. 213). De Saussure copies from the label of his specimen (received from the Duke of Gordon) a statement indicating that the name came from the records of the abortive attempt to find gold in Scotland in the reign of James VI. In Atkinson's book of 1619, Discovery and History of Gold Mynes in Scotland (ed. Bannatyne Club, pp. 15, 67), ‘the sapparr, saxere, and salineere stones’ are mentioned as minerals in conjunction with which gold may be expected to be found. It is very doubtful whether these terms had any real meaning; the description of ‘sappar-stone’ on p. 15 would seem to suit quartz; it certainly does not refer to cyanite.
