Common Crystal Misconceptions.
I've been collecting crystals for a little over two years. During that time, I've come across a fair share of crystals that look similar to others. While every piece is unique, it's common for colors, shapes, and textures to become somewhat uniform during the process of tumbling. Does that mean that two crystals are the same kind based on appearance? No!

Facts Over Myths
As you know seas cover more than 70% of the Earth. On average, the sea is 8 Empire State Buildings deep, and under 5% of its puzzling profundities have been investigated. It's even conceivable to discover lakes and waterways underneath the sea. They are denser than the remainder of the water encompassing them, so you can obviously see the difference. When the coral is in shallow waters, intense sunlight can harm the green growth living inside it. To ensure green growth, the coral produces a few proteins that act as some sort of sunscreen for it, so they don't actually have to burn through money on it. Alright, the vast majority of the sea may not be investigated, but what we do know is around 20 million tons of gold are scattered through its dim waters. It's amassed in tiny amounts, which is the reason it doesn't pay off to mine it. If we could take it out, each individual on the planet would get 9 pounds of gold. At the point when sharks need their morning joe, they go to a café as well. Back in 2002, analysts found an area in the Pacific sea called the White Shark Cafe, where incredible white sharks come during the winter. They basically hang out, make wisecracks and laugh at accounts of what number of people they've scared, and afterward return to the coast to unnerve us a little chomped more when the climate gets warmer.

Stick a Pin In It
It’s 1849 and inventor Walter Hunt is sitting in his New York workshop, worrying about how to pay off a $15 debt he owed a friend. While he racks his brain for a solution to his money woes, he mindlessly twists a piece of metal wire around his fingers. Suddenly, he realizes he’s done something. After twisting the wire a few times and folding it in upon itself, Walter notices that the wire held enough tension to clasp together and enough spring to open and close over and over. While distracted by financial problems, he had redesigned an item that hadn’t been changed in literally thousands of years. Walter Hunt had accidentally invented the Safety Pin. He spent the rest of the night making a prototype and sketching designs for the tool, had them patented on April 10th of the same year, and then went on to sell the patten for $400 to the very man he owed $15.
