Scheele's laboratory notebooks show that during 1771–1772, he observed a "besondere Erde" (peculiar earth [i.e., metal oxide]) in pyrolusite (an ore that contains mainly manganese dioxide, MnO2). See: Scheele, Carl Wilhelm (1892). Nordenskiöld, A.E. (ed.). Carl Wilhelm Scheele: Nachgelassene Briefe und Aufzeichnungen [Carl Wilhelm Scheele: Posthumously published letters and notes] (in German and Latin). Stockholm: P.A. Norstedt & Söner. p. 457. From p. 457: "In Gewächsen muss die besondere Erde, welche aus magn. nigra et acidis … mit acido vitrioli ein solches Præcipitat." (In plants, [there] must be present the peculiar earth [i.e., metal oxide], which arises from magnesia nigra [i.e., pyrolusite] and acid via precipitation with oil of vitriol [i.e., concentrated sulfuric acid], for plant ash which is well rinsed so that all potassium sulfate disappears, gives – [when it's] dissolved with nitric acid and salt acid [i.e., hydrochloric acid] – such a precipitate [when it's treated] with sulfuric acid.) See also pp. 455, 456, and 461.
In 1774, Scheele further investigated barium in pyrolusite: Scheele (1774). "Om brunsten, eller magnesia, och dess egenskaper" [On brown-stone [i.e., pyrolusite] or magnesia, and its properties].
