I have just had the thought that the little forms inside the oval discs may be intended as compass needles (they do appear somewhat like pointers).
The Latin text below, does refer to the compass.
specie sive compass si mineralis, per quem omnia metalla in crescentus ac venis suis...
I'm not sure of some of the letters but it suggests these are compasses through which one may find the individual metals growing in their veins.
It is interesting that Mercury is not included with the other six metals.
