Researchers have been unable to build an ideal “photonic crystal” to manipulate visible light, impeding the dream of ultrafast optical computers. But now chemists have discovered that nature already has designed photonic crystals with the ideal, diamond-like structure: They are found in the shimmering, iridescent green scales of a beetle from Brazil.

In the year 2000, and by chance, the Cave Of Crystals was discovered. It is in the mines zone of Chihuahua (Mexico).In this area, there are the most valuable mines of silver and lead in the world. This cave is filled with crystals of selenite (gypsum), some of the biggest ones in the world. Many of them are longer than 11 meters (36 feet).This was possible due to the high temperatures reached inside the cave during thousands of years, approximately 58º Celsius (136.4º Fahrenheit). It is thought that these macro-crystals were formed under water, in a complex crystallization process, with uncommon conditions.Nowadays there's no water in the Cave Of Crystals. Currently, the temperature of the cave is kept constant by a ventilation system, but there's some areas in the cave that reach 45º C

Caves of Crystals. Places where Superman could feel at home. Mexico's Cueva de los Cristales contains some of the world's largest known natural crystals - tanslucent gypsum beams measuring up to 36 feet (11 meters) long & weighing up to 55 tons.Modern-day mining operations exposed the natural wonder by pumping water out of the 30-by-90-foot (10-by-30-meter) cave, which was found in 2000 near the town of Delicias. "There is no other place on the planet," García-Ruiz said, "where the mineral world reveals itself in such beauty."(Image credit: Nationalgeographic).(Image credit: Crystalinks).(Image credit: Canyonsworldwide).Similarly there is a huge cave of crystals in an old silver mine in Spain.

Among aficionados of the girl group sound, there can't be five acts more beloved than the Crystals. Their best-known songs, which include "He's a Rebel," "Uptown," "Da Doo Ron Ron," "Then He Kissed Me," and "There's No Other Like My Baby," are among the finest examples of the best that American rock & roll had to offer in the period before the British Invasion; and decades into the CD era, the...

In this ever blossoming market of customized bling bling for cellphones, hideous designs are becoming more prevalent and as of now this one takes the cake. Aparently the culprit responsible for this attrocity is not a one time offender, an Iphone was the last victim and acording to what I saw there was no saving the repugnant monstrosity.
So for you color blind ballers out there that still havent figured the difference between bloods and crips, this just might wet your whistle, but the $1,700 price tag wont. But vex not my friend that price include a cleaning kit, joy!

Quartz is the most common mineral on the face of the Earth. Gem varietiesinclude amethyst (purple), citrine (yellow), milky quartz (cloudy, whitevariety), rock crystal (clear variety), rose quartz (pink to reddish-pinkvariety), and smokey quartz (brown to grey variety).The word amethyst comes from the Greek amethustos meaning "not drunk".Therefore, it has been considered a charm against intoxication. A legendaccounts for the origin of the stone. Supposedly, Bacchus, the god of wineand conviviality, grew angry at a slight and swore revenge. He decreed thatthe first mortal to come across his path was to be eaten by tigers.Amethyst, a beautiful maiden on her way to worship at the shrine of Diana,happened to be the victim. Diana, the huntress, changed Amethyst intocolorless quartz to protect her from the tigers. When Bacchus witnessed themiracle, he repented and poured wine over the stone, staining it purple. Thewine failed to cover the entire stone evenly, and the feet and part
Quartz has been used for the longest of times for spiritual expression, metaphysical growth and as an object of power for creating and manifesting reality. The power of quartz may not appeal to everybody, admittedly, but it will be of great interest to many. There is a tremendous amount of information coming out about crystals and some of it is valuable. But for every piece of valuable information, there are 3 to 4 times that of misinformation. So it is important for you to have the knowledge to discern the truth of metaphysics so you don't have to be wondering who is telling the truth, you will know.If I just talk about the metaphysical properties without first spending time on the physical properties, crystals will be a bit hard to appreciate and understand. Grounded in the knowledge of the physical properties, you will be able to determine the true metaphysical capabilities of crystals for yourself.What are crystals? What are the physical properties of crystals? 99% of the earth's
Citrines were popular back in ancient times, serving to provide protection against evil. Citrine is the signature of wisdom and peace. It also brings good fortune, and it promotes success and abundance.

I have always wanted to have a collection of Swarovski Crystals. Whenever I go to Fortunoff, I find myself gravitating towards the crystals area. I just love the sparkle and how intricate the designs are. They're fascinating!My sister must have known. So, on our anniversary in 2003, she gave us a Swarovski Crystal Society membership along with a beautiful school of fish for my first piece. It's been 4 years, and I'm not going anywhere with my collection. They are securely displayed in our curio. I'm stuck and I can't go ahead and buy more to add into these. The culprit? Blame my obsession with cleaning. I can't keep myself from handling them poorly by dusting them every so often. In my mind, the more I get, the more pieces to dust. How sick is that?

Ever thought about a pink laptop? Well, it’s here! Recently, NEC has released a very ladies friendly pink laptop: the model christened as HELLO KITTY. The KITTY model is currently being sold for 199,500 YEN in Japan which is US $1,650 or euro 1,200.Laptops have come a long ways, however, the ladies have mostly tried to stay away from the technology. I think NEC tried to make this laptop more female friendly by making it all pink.Company spokesman Shinya Hashizume agrees with this idea:"PC users now tend to be men, but we’re hoping to attract women with this product"HELLO KITTY range of products have been previously popular with the kids. NEC joined hands with HELLO KITTY to make this laptop. Both the companies together packed the following features with this laptop:• 100 gigs of Harddrive space• 1 gig of RAMThe laptop uses 299 Swarovski crystals to make four hearts.I think this is a great idea and will certainly lure the geeky girls.So this summer, think pink with your pink lap
So while I was at the Voice of the Prophets conference, Larry Randolph spoke on the power that is in our words. I’m sure a lot of you have heard various things regarding this, but I’ve never heard it explained quite like this. According to science Proverbs 18:21 is proving to be true…
The tongue has the power of life and death.. - Proverbs 18:21
A guy by the name of Masaru Emoto has conducted hundreds of experiments using water from various locations and by speaking to the water samples, and then freezing it, and then examining the water crystals. He is proving that there is power in our words and in our thoughts, which are all composed of various human vibrations. All living matter is a vibration, as well as our thoughts and our words. In some of his studies he took polluted water and examined the water crystals under a special microscope. Water that is polluted has really ugly looking water crystals, while the crystals of clean water will have amazing eye cat
By Richard Romando By definition, dermabrasion crystals are used by dermatologists, physicians, spas and salons to clean out the skin off dead cells. Sometimes called micro-dermabrasion crystals, these tiny granules of about standard sizes in grits of 90, 100, 120 or fine 180, are manufactured according to strict standards of health and safety. These dermabrasion crystals are attached or lodged on equipment used to treat patients.A lot of providers of dermabrasion crystals get their supply from industrial mineral processors. The mineral crystals are modified to qualify as dermabrasion crystals. The crystals are usually made from white aluminum oxide. The highest quality of dermabrasion crystals achieves 99.6 percent clarity. The crystal must not keep dust particles to avoid clogging the equipment used in dermabrasion processes.If you are looking for reliable sources of dermabrasion crystals, or if you need to them in bulk, check out several online stores offering these products.

Finally, I have time to post my new work! We've had the house upside down for the week while we have new windows installed. I was able to paint, but with my office turned upside down and the computers unplugged it was mayhem! But with three days of destruction and construction behind us, we're on the home stretch now. Hubby set up office again last night, so I've stolen a few minutes to post a new piece. I've called this icon "The Pool of Blue" from a poem by Sara Teasdale. "I am the pool of blueThat worships the vivid sky;My hopes were heaven-high,They are all fulfilled in you."~ Sara TeasdaleUsing mixed media technique, I've created an original folk Madonna Icon. She glows in her deep blue robe, encircled by her halo of red roses. Starting with a plain wooden frame, I’ve created the look of burnished copper, embellished with textured Celtic braids and clay Rustic crosses. The original icon sparkles with real Swarovski crystals.Artist: Wendy RyanTitle: The Pool of BlueMediu
Chemists at UCLA Design the Least Dense Crystals Known to Man for Applications in Clean EnergyChemists at UCLA have designed new organic structures for the storage of voluminous amounts of gases for use in alternative energy technologies. The research, to be published on April 13 in the journal Science, demonstrates how the design principles of reticular chemistry have been used to create three-dimensional covalent organic frameworks, which are entirely constructed from strong covalent bonds and have high thermal stability,high surface areas and extremely low densities.The team of researchers comprises chemists from the Center for Reticular Chemistry at UCLA's California NanoSystems Institute and the departments of chemistry and biochemistry at UCLA. Led by Omar Yaghi, UCLA professor of chemistry and biochemistry, the team has developed a class of materials in which components can be changed nearly at will. Reticular chemistry, the brainchild of Yaghi, is the chemistry of linking mole
Today, I read a cool article in my favorite science magazine "P.M." which is available in Germany, only. It was about the largest known crystals on earth, which can be found in a cave in mexico. The crystals are made of gypsum and the place is not very friendly for lifeforms. At 150 degrees Fahrenheit with 100% humidity a human can't stay more than 2 minutes. People who tried to get into the cave and steal some crystals where found dead and half-baked afterwards. Though of it's high dangers, the crystal caves are considered to be a natural wonder.
