Sinopsis

Sapphire Growth explores the geological environments and processes that transform the mineral corundum into stunning sapphires, gems coveted worldwide. It delves into the crucial role of trace elements like iron and titanium, revealing how their presence and concentration dictate a sapphire's color, from deep blues to vibrant pinks and yellows. The book highlights that even slight variations in chemical composition can dramatically alter a gemstone's appearance.

 
The book systematically unfolds the story of sapphire formation, starting with corundum's basic properties and advancing to the geological settings that foster crystal growth. Different deposit types, such as magmatic, metamorphic, and alluvial, are examined to understand their unique influence on sapphire characteristics. Case studies from major sapphire-producing regions like Sri Lanka and Madagascar illustrate the varied geological histories that contribute to gem genesis, using geological maps and spectroscopic data to support its findings.

 
Targeted toward students, geologists, and gem enthusiasts, Sapphire Growth presents a fact-based, accessible overview of sapphire genesis, emphasizing natural processes and geological factors. By integrating mineralogy, geochemistry, and petrology, the book offers a holistic understanding of sapphire formation, providing valuable insights into exploration strategies and gemstone provenance.

Finding Voice For Authentic...

Terry Tempest Williams

Terry takes us on a whirlwind tour of what it means to give voice to our own authenticity. It requires deep listening and fertile silences. She encourages us to speak “Mother Tongue” — speaking from the belly rather than the mind. 
She laments that in Western culture “the language of economics has power, the language of the law has power, the language of science has power. But an intelligence of the heart, an emotional intelligence, or a poetic sensibility, or even a sensibility that comes from the side, from a different angle, from a different point of view, asks us to form a different kind of shape of conversation.” 
In this delightfully warm and thoughtful program you’ll be dazzled by the mystery of Terry’s dying mother’s request for her to read her journals, but not until after her death. Terry found 3 shelves of journals only to discover all of them were blank. Puzzle along with Terry as she takes us from the Red Rock Wildlands of Utah to the Plains of Kenya in a far-reaching dialogue about finding one’s authentic voice. (hosted by Justine Willis Toms)
