      Could this be a 20K find?

      By Bedrock Bob · Posted

      It is a nice piece of ore. Why do anything with it at all? It is a great find and would probably make a nice piece of jewelry if'n you are into that kind of thing. Otherwise I couldn't think of a reason to do a darn thing to it.

      Magnetic Speci

      By Bedrock Bob · Posted

      Will iron shavings follow it after you stick a neo on it? Being magnetic is one thing. Having magnetism is a completely different property. All magnetite is magnetic but only some displays magnetism.  You might have a gold nugget that will make black sand stand on end when it passes under it.  Wouldn't that be something?

      Rare thomsonite crystals from Cyprus island

      By Bedrock Bob · Posted

      The ones taken from St. Cloud mines were packed in corn starch to support them. Corn starch is used to protect delicate fossils and animal specimens too.  I bet something weird and light like fumed silica could be poured over them to fill the voids. Anyhoo, they usually sift in light material they can vacuum out with a little dental suction tool. They use thixotropic liquids to support the latticework of DNA. If they can do that then I bet there is a high tech way to pack and unpack a sea urchin made of alum powder.
