net/mineral/pyrite.aspx Pyrite’s chemical formula is FeS2, which is the same as the much rarer mineral, Marcasite. Even though these two have the same chemical formula, they both crystallize differently, causing them to be classified as different minerals. Sharing the same chemical formula causes these two minerals to be mislabeled, since their physical characteristics are so similar, and the only real way to definitively tell them apart is by complex analysis.…

Chalcopyrite is a copper iron sulfide mineral. Its coloring is metallic brassy to a brown-orange, and on the Mohs scale, it has a hardness of 3.5 to 4. The chemical formula of chalcopyrite is CuFeS2. It is the most commonly occurring copper containing mineral in New Zealand, but it is only created near volcanic areas. On the metaphysical level, chalcopyrite is used for meditation, specifically for opening the third eye chakra (crown chakra), and physical healing. The stone clears any energy…

In 1965, the serpentine rock became California’s state rock; they are abundant in central and northern California. The serpentine rock is a metamorphic rock that forms by the hydration of rocks from the Earth’s mantle; these types of rocks will rise towards the Earth’s surface along fault zones. It can be found in various colors from dark green and brown, to blue with a glossy surface. However, these rocks tend to be slippery and creates a high risk for land slides. Through a series of…

of ore, valuable minerals or other geological resources such as gold, silver, diamond, iron, coal and uranium from mines. Because the process of extraction requires a large amount of capital, mining business is normally done by the government, multinational companies or wealthy business owners. All the resources that need to be extracted are non-renewable as these materials cannot be artificially created nor grown through agricultural process. So, this is the reason why minerals need to be…

10 Nov. 2014 Tara Linehan GEO 101, Physical Geography Crystal Caves of Naica, Mexico In 1794, according to crystalink early prospectors of Chihuahua City discovered the Naica mine. At the base of the hills the prospectors struck a vein of silver. During that time, people’s interest was in silver and gold. In the beginning of the 1900s, the Mexican Revolution caused a switch from gold and silver to lead and zinc, which the mine had plenty of. Revolutionary troops started to demand money from…

Gold is widely used in modern day medicine to treat disorders. This is because gold is very resistant to bacteria. Bacteria are microscopic single-celled organisms. Bacteria are prokaryotes, meaning the entire organism consists of a single cell with a simple internal structure. The DNA of a prokaryote is neatly packed in the nucleus. The bacterial DNA floats freely in a twisted thread-like mass called the nucleoid. Gold is unaffected by almost everything. The only materials that can affect gold…

support railway tracks. It is recommended that ballast should be “hard durable and as far as possible angular along edges/corners, free from weathered portions of parent rock, organic impurities and inorganic residues” (Reference) Rocks which contain minerals which are deemed harmful to the longevity and behaviour of the ballasts may be rejected following petrographic or durability testing. Shape and size It is recommended that ballast material be as cubical in shape as possible, and that…

What is the Bone Broth Diet… And How Can it Help You XYZ? If you experience digestive problems, autoimmune illness, or chronic allergies, you might be familiar with research on the health benefits of bone broth and its potential to offer relief. Bone broth has been a staple of the human diet for thousands of years. And, it is among the most nutrient-rich healing foods you can consume. Bone broth is made from animal parts that are often thrown away (at least in modern times). These include…

TITLE Something something something. In his letter, John Roberts, a blacksmith, attempts to be rehired as he believes he was fired for unjust reasons. He makes a strong claim to pathos in an attempt to persuade Storrs, a man in a position of power, to override Roberts’ boss’s decision to fire him. In another letter, Lendrum writes a letter of recommendation for Williams, a mining engineer, to Storrs. While both letters to Storrs are for the same purpose, Robert’s letter is far more effective.…
