Synopsis

Gemstone Facts explores the captivating world of gemstones, linking their geological origins to their cultural significance. It explains how Earth sciences, specifically geological processes like magmatic activity, create these beautiful minerals. Did you know that the unique conditions required for diamond formation involve intense pressure deep within the Earth? Or that the vibrant colors of rubies and sapphires come from trace elements present during their creation? The book uniquely weaves together the science of gemstone formation with their historical and cultural roles.

 
Moving from the basics of mineralogy to the specific conditions for creating key gemstones like emeralds and opals, it then investigates how civilizations from ancient Egypt to modern times have used gems for adornment, status, and even spiritual practices. This approach emphasizes that the allure of gemstones stems from both their physical rarity and their integration into human societies.

 
Finally, the book addresses the modern gemstone industry, including mining practices, ethical considerations, and valuation. By connecting Earth sciences with anthropology, history, and economics, Gemstone Facts provides an interdisciplinary perspective, making it valuable for students, enthusiasts, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of these coveted treasures.

    “A fascinating, comprehensive, and accessible exploration of life’s most fundamental questions. If you’re wondering who we are and why we’re here, this book is a great place to start.”—Mark Gober, award-winning author of An End to Upside Down Thinking and board member at the Institute of Noetic SciencesIs our physical universe actually a virtual simulation that is thought into existence by consciousness? Noted astrophysicist Bernard Haisch explores the frontiers of science, consciousness, and God, revolutionizing our understanding of the universe and what’s behind it all.Have you ever wondered why and how the world around you came to exist and whether there might be another experience awaiting you after the physical body dies? Might there actually be a God and a heaven of some sort? Without consciousness there is nothing. The hypothesis presented in this book is that our seemingly physical universe of matter and energy is a virtual simulation which is thought into existence by a universal consciousness which we call God. Authors Bernard Haisch and Marsha Sims tackle age-old metaphysical questions such as the following:Are near-death experiences real?What is the zero-point field?What kind of being could God be?Is there some place that God could have come from?How does the Big Bang figure into this?It there an afterlife, and what could it be like?What is the purpose of life?Is consciousness all there is?Is the universe a virtual reality?Why is hell impossible?
