Did You Know?

Ureilite is a rare type of stony meteorite that contains a high percentage of graphite and tiny (< 1 micron in size) diamonds called londaleite.  This ultra hard diamond results from impact events such as when meteorites hit Earth.  Because londaleite can be inexpensively synthesized, it may one day be used in biological and industrial applications.  Source: https://www.msn.com.

January: Garnet - The garnet group of minerals offers gems of every hue, including deep red almandine, fiery red pyrope, orange-yellow spessartine, and rare intense-green varieties of andradite, grossular, and uvarovite. Source: https://www.gia.edu.
