Because of its property of doubly refracting light, it is used to make optical instruments such as polarizers. \u003cbr\u003eThe highly transparent calcite used in double refraction experiments comes primarily from volcanic caves in Iceland.\u003cbr\u003e It was also used in the tomb of Tutankhamun and fragments of alabaster jars from ancient Egypt.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ---

and Pyrite, iron pyrite.\u003cbr\u003e Although it does not contain a lot of copper, it is mined in areas where copper is abundant, so it is the most important ore as a raw material for copper, with about 80% of the world's copper being made from chalcopyrite.\u003cbr\u003e As the name suggests, brassite is a stone that is originally rusty yellow in color, but over time it oxidizes and turns into a cloudy rainbow color.\u003cbr\u003e Its appearance is very similar to that of pyrite, making it difficult to distinguish between them, but chalcopyrite has a darker yellow color than pyrite. \u003cbr\u003eIt is found in hydrothermal veins of high to medium temperature, and has a long history of mining in the Rio Tinto River basin in Spain, dating back to ancient Roman times.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.67\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e056 Turkuaz A stone that was like a talisman most loved by the ancients\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Although it is mainly produced in Iran, it was originally spread from Persia to Europe via Turkey, hence the name 'Turquoise', which means 'Turkey' in French.\u003cbr\u003e It was used as a protective stone to protect the body, and many turquoise sculptures and jewelry ornaments have been excavated from ancient ruins such as those in Egypt, Mesopotamia, and the Aztec civilization.\u003cbr\u003e If it contains iron, it is blue, and if it contains copper, it is green.\u003cbr\u003e It is a porous stone with a soft texture, so it is distributed in the form of a reinforced stone with wax or resin, or a mold-processed stone with colored turquoise powder. \u003cbr\u003eThe oldest mineral mined for gemstones, the Iranian stone known as 'Persian' is known to be of the highest quality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.133\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e059 Green natural glass formed by the impact of a Moldavite meteorite\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e It was discovered along the Moldau River in the Czech Republic and was given the name Moldavite.\u003cbr\u003e It is a natural glass that was formed 15 million years ago when a meteorite impact near Rees, Bavaria, Germany, caused molten rock to solidify instantly in the air.\u003cbr\u003e Rarely, moldavite is found in a thin, dendrite-like state, scattered in the air.\u003cbr\u003e Moldavite is a type of rock called tektite, but unlike tektites found on many continents, only the stones found in meteorite impact craters are called moldavite.\u003cbr\u003e They range in size from 1 mm to several mm and are moss green or yellowish green in color.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.139\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e097 Noble purple used in the garments of Amethyst priests\u003c\/b\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eIt is a purple stone that was created when trace amounts of iron ions were mixed in and the balance of the crystal structure was broken due to the influence of natural radiation.\u003cbr\u003e The darker the transparent purple, the more valuable it is.\u003cbr\u003e In Greek mythology, it is known as a stone created by Dionysus, the god of wine, and its name is derived from the Greek word 'amethystos', meaning 'not drunk'.\u003cbr\u003e In the old days, amethyst powder was also used as a hangover cure.\u003cbr\u003e Since ancient times, purple has been considered a noble color, and in ancient Egypt, amethyst was used in jewelry and seals.\u003cbr\u003e Also, because it is a stone with strong religious meaning, it was used in the bishop's ring worn by Catholic priests and in the garments of Jewish high priests.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.223\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e106 Zircon, the oldest mineral, formed 4.4 billion years

solar system is about 4.6 billion years old, it is also a mineral that holds many secrets about the Earth's early environment and the origin of life.\u003cbr\u003e Because it is weather-resistant and heavy, it is often found in sand along the coast.\u003cbr\u003e Colorless zircon, a colorful gemstone with a high refractive index and diffuse light, is used as a diamond imitation.\u003cbr\u003e The artificial stone called zirconia is easy to confuse with zircon because of its similar name, but it is a stone with different properties from zircon.\u003cbr\u003e Because it is a hard mineral found in many types of rocks, it is commonly used in measuring radiometric dating.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e ---

In ancient India, it was believed that wearing a ruby ​​would bring wealth and health.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In particular, diamonds, emeralds, rubies, and sapphires have been treated as precious stones, enough to be considered as one of the world's four great gemstones.\u003cbr\u003e The word diamond, a natural mineral composed entirely of pure carbon, comes from the Greek word 'adamas', meaning 'unbreakable'.\u003cbr\u003e It symbolizes 'strong mentality and victory'.\u003cbr\u003e Emerald was a symbol of prosperity and life in ancient Egypt, and was also a gem greatly loved by Cleopatra.\u003cbr\u003e Meanwhile, in ancient India, it was believed that wearing a ruby ​​would bring 'wealth and health'. \u003cbr\u003eAnd sapphire, the 'color symbolizing heaven', is said to have been a powerful protective stone, especially favored by the Pope of Rome and alchemists.\u003cbr\u003e In this way, the ancients gave each gem its own meaning and symbolism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Stones, which are symbols of wealth and power for some and symbols of faith for others, have always been with human history as symbols of faith, wealth, and absolute power, as a type of currency, and as a tool of temptation to show off beauty.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eRuby, the symbol of victory, and sapphire, the jewel of kings,\u003cbr\u003e Were these two actually the same stone?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Ruby and sapphire each have their own unique color, so it is easy to think they are different minerals, but they are both corundum, a hardness of 9, and are gemstones made of crystallized aluminum oxide.\u003cbr\u003e So why are the colors of these two gems different?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Ruby and sapphire are gemstones derived from the mineral corundum. \u003cbr\u003eCorundum is made of aluminum oxide, and when crystallized purely as aluminum oxide, it becomes colorless and transparent.\u003cbr\u003e If trace elements are added, it crystallizes into various colors. For example, if chromium is added, it becomes a red ruby, and if titanium or iron is added, it becomes a blue sapphire.\u003cbr\u003e A very small amount of one element can make a big difference in the crystallinity, color, and use of a mineral, such as a ruby ​​or a sapphire.\u003cbr\u003e In this way, nature hides details that are so profound that we cannot even imagine them!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eIf we understand stones, our knowledge of the world will be enriched!\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “Even from common stones on the roadside, you can make very meaningful discoveries.\u003cbr\u003e In particular, the legends contained in stones containing the history of religion and people are very interesting. \u003cbr\u003e“If this book can help, even in a small way, broaden the horizons of knowledge and enrich someone’s life, there is nothing more satisfying as an author.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e There is a stone named after the great German writer Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.\u003cbr\u003e Also known as Goethite.\u003cbr\u003e In addition to his life as a writer, Goethe was also fascinated by natural science and collected minerals. It is said that he collected over 6,500 types of minerals during his lifetime.\u003cbr\u003e Goethe placed such importance on observing nature that if he were to establish a university, he would say, “Let no one who cannot observe enter my university.”\u003cbr\u003e Just as Goethe observed nature with endless curiosity, Chiharu Yahagi, the representative of the Japanese Migratory Bird Factory and an author, has traveled the world collecting precious minerals created by humanity and nature over a long period of time.\u003cbr\u003e Perhaps that is why his stone stories are as beautiful, warm, and delicate as nature itself. \u003cbr\u003eWouldn't our hearts become deeper and richer as we imagine that not only gorgeous jewels but also common roadside stones hold layers of mysteries of Earth's time and the universe?\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e \"]\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:95%;padding-top:20px;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:16px;font-weight:bold;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e GOODS SPECIFICS \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:14px;line-height:1.6em;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003ePublication date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 15, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardcover book binding method guide\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003ePage count, weight, size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 288 pages | 484g | 127*180*20mm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9791188554430\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1188554433 \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/center\u003e","brand":"LIBRAIRIE COREENNE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43891709542442,"sku":"155476","price":27.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0683\/2750\/5962\/files\/b0a48074fa104f60731f654996c96fb4.jpg?v=1765339398","url":"https:\/\/librairie.coreenne.fr\/en\/products\/155476","provider":"LIBRAIRIE COREENNE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
