An update on this investigation.
I've extracted the Chaldean stone names for each Zodiac sign, from the transcription I linked to. The stones for Aries are shown below, as an example. (The whole set is available if anyone wants it.)
There is something I don't understand. The first 12 sections in the Lapidario list the 30 stones for each zodiac sign, but a few signs appear to be truncated: Leo has only one stone, Pisces only has two stones, and Aquarius only 28. I wonder why that is?
There follow more sections, again one for each sign, but these each have only three stones. I'm not clear what they represent.
Following those sections are several more that cover the stones of Saturn (4 stones), Jupiter (4 stones), Mars (4 stones), Venus (24 stones), Sun (9 stones) and Mercury (17 stones).
