    Radiant Red Rock

    One of the most unique and special National Parks to me is Zion in Utah. The Colorado Plateau region lies along the side of Zion. This Park is very beautiful and has many different attributes to it but with out a doubt its red dirt and mountains are wonders. Zion is 229 square miles (147,551 acres) and has around 75 species of mammals, 271 birds, 32 reptiles and amphibians, 8 fish. The rock layers have been through so much; for example, they have been uplifted, tilted, and eroded, forming a feature called the Grand Staircase. This incredible landmark also carries the Virgin River right through it. My experiences at Zion have been only but amazing, I have learned so much and enjoy being surrounded by such a radiant red rock. I have found that this park has much history to still be found. What I have come across to be most interesting at this National Park is the Virgin River, Checkerboard Mesa and the Sedimentation taken place.…

    Pyrite

    • 558 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Pyrite is a very interesting mineral for many reasons. The name Pyrite comes from the Greek word “pyr” which means “fire,” and was named because it was found that sparks would fly from it if struck against another minerals like steel. In early times, this sparking ability gave people a way of creating fire, and in later times, this ability made it popular for use in early firearms devices like the wheel lock. Today Pyrite is called “Fools Gold” because throughout history people have mistaken it for Gold because of its similar visible structure, metallic surface and brassy yellow color. The funny thing is Gold is often found with to Pyrite deposits. Pyrite can easily be distinguished from Gold. Pyrite is much lighter in color and much harder. Even though Pyrite is a fairly hard mineral, its crystals are known to break and crumble, because it is brittle.…

    When the King of Gyaaman Adinkra, made a Golden Stool for himself, the Asantehene was so annoyed that he led a massive army against him. Adinkra was completely destroyed and he was decapitated. The Asantehene then proceeded to order the melt down of Adinkra's golden stool, and for it to be made into two masks, to represent his "ugly" face. These masks remain hanging on each side of the Ashanti Golden Stool to this day. With the ritual conditions, the stool differs significantly from the idea found among the shilluk, the Yoruba, Alafine, and the bunyoro that national well-being and continuity depends on the physical health of the incumbent and Mukama. Among these peoples the king is made to commit suicide when he becomes old and infirm, as the weakeining of his body might have adverse effects on the crops, rainfall and breeding. The Shilluk, the Yoruba and the Bunyoro, have Divine kings. The Ashantehene is not a Divine king. Unlike the Reth, the Alafine, or Mukama the Asantehene has no spiritual band with the people or the land, and his physical health cannot affect the productivity of the land or its people. To the Ashanti people the Golden Stool is Divine and well honors each day and…

    Opal (gem)

    • 571 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Opal is the most rare and valuable gemstone in the entire world. Every single opal is different and unique. You will never be able to find an opal that is exactly the same as another opal. They are found all over the world. All opal gemstones are considered gemstones, and not semi precious stones, because of its quality and rarity. Opals are usually opaque but can sometimes be translucent or even transparent. On Moh’s Scale, the opal’s hardness is 5.5 – 6.5. This is relatively soft, so opal is sometimes coated with a thin layer of clear quartz. This is to make the opal more resistant to scratches. These are called opal doublets or triplets. An imperfection of the opal is crazing. That is when the gemstone is damp and then dried too quickly or suddenly exposed to intense light, which forms internal cracks.…
