Rounded glass at the beach. The beach is now visited by tens of thousands of tourists yearly. [3] Collecting is discouraged by State Park Rangers on the section of "Glass Beach" adjacent to the state park, [2] where they ask people to leave what little glass is left for others to enjoy, although most of the sea glass is now found on the other two glass beaches outside the state park area.
Basalt, which is low in silica, forms glass only with difficulty, so that basalt tephra almost always contains at least some crystalline material (quench crystals). [2] The glass transition temperature of basalt is about 700 °C (1,292 °F). [4] The mechanisms controlling formation of volcanic glass are further illustrated by the two forms of ...
Sea glass is used for decoration, most commonly in jewellery. "Beach glass" comes from fresh water and is often less frosted in appearance than sea glass. Sea glass takes 20–40 years, and sometimes as much as 100–200 years, to acquire its characteristic texture and shape. [2]

Fulgurites are usually fragile, making the field collection of large specimens difficult. Fulgurites can exceed 20 centimeters in diameter and can penetrate deep into the subsoil , sometimes occurring as far as 15 m (49 ft) below the surface that was struck, [ 10 ] although they may also form directly on a sedimentary surface.

Crystals are rare but will form fibrous, elongated crystals either oriented parallel or radial to each other. Crystals may also be acicular, resembling needles (Anthony et al., 2005). [ 16 ] The point group of ulexite is 1, which means that the crystals show very little symmetry as there are no rotational axes or mirror planes.
The largest documented single crystal of mica was found in Lacey Mine, Ontario, Canada; it measured 10 m × 4.3 m × 4.3 m (33 ft × 14 ft × 14 ft) and weighed about 330 tonnes (320 long tons; 360 short tons). [18] Similar-sized crystals were also found in Karelia, Russia. [19] Scrap and flake mica is produced all over the world.
So for me, crystals are my words of choice. On being a Muslim woman in the arts. There are very few women artists and very few who are internationally recognized. For me, having a platform where I ...
