Did You Know?

The unexpected discovery of a fossil horse tooth is providing evidence of the origin of feral horses on Assateague and Chincoteague, barrier islands off the coast of Maryland and Virginia.  The famous ponies have lived there for centuries.  The discovery was made during a Florida Museum of Natural History study of archeological sites in Haiti.  Source: https://www.cnn.com.

Peridot - The yellow-green gem variety of the mineral olivine. Found as nodules in volcanic rock, occasionally as crystals lining veins in mountains of Myanmar and Pakistan, and occasionally inside meteorites. Spinel - This gemstone offers a range of hues from orange, red, pink, purple, blue, violet, and bluish green. Intense reds are caused by chromium, the same trace element that colors ruby and emerald.
