Now THAT is an Emerald!

One of the many Jewels on display at the Natural History Museum. The museum not only displayed the gems, but also their chemical compounds! Diamonds chemical compound: C. Took me a few moments, and then I had to laugh at myself; I forgot, diamonds are pure Carbon!!

hmmm... all this talk of hitler and the jews and now all of this gorgeous jewelry made a question pop into my mind...

the jews were/are often in the diamond business...

is there a connection between the two words... jew and jewelry???

methinks there is another report in the making!!!

pure carbon, huh... yeah, i knew that!

thing is... look how long it took all those carbs to create a diamond... started out carbohydrate (plant material) and dropped the hydrate (water) and kept the carbs... j

jeez, everytime i tuck any carbs away and squeeze out all the water all i get is chubby!

my so called happy place said...
