This past summer the wife and I took a trip to NC. Spruce Pine to be precise. We went "Rock Hounding" or "Gem Mining" at place called  Gem Mountain.\n\nhttp://www.gemmountain.com/aquamarine.htm\n\nWhile at Gem Mountain we purchased one bucket of minerals and mined at their Aquamarine mine near by.\n\nWe found some nice specimens, but one in particular stuck a nerve, The image of this Aquamarine is posted at my site, Take a look:\n\nhttp://my.opera.com/TheMineralExchange/albums/showpic.dml?album=157930&picture=2347315\n\nOk.. so after viewing the image, Aquamarine's stats are as follows:\nA) : Green-blue\nB) : White\nC) : 2.63-2.91\nD) : 7 1/2-8\nE) : Hexagonal\nF) : Imperfect\nG) : Conchoidal, Uneven, Brittle.\n\nHey Teacher?. did I pass?

Actually, contrary to what some people obviously believe, gold is really soft. If you can make a mark on it when you bite down, it is real.

I mean this, too....where are the Arc of the Covenant and the Holy Grail?  Some say they are hidden in secretive places by the Jews, some say they're hidden beneath the Vatican.  Some say Atlantis sank into the sea near present day Greece and some say it sank off the coast of northern Africa.  Some say...some say...until these things are found or proved true they will remain just that....some say!

Fred,\nCheck out this website. I live in rural Nevada where over half the United States gold is mined so I use this site quite a bit.  Here's the link\nhttp://minerals.usgs.gov/minerals/pubs/mapdata/

I just recently watched a program on the Discovery channel and has been researched as a site of the world's largest mega volcano's... and has been deemed to be getting ready for another huge explosion which could change the whole planet as we see it. Although it does look interesting to look at Old Faithful the famous geyser, it is also one of the most dangerous sites and I wouldn't want to be near it when it does erupts.

I think it actually existed but not in the sense that most have come to know it. There have been many sites that archaeologist have claimed to be Atlantis and not one has had convincing evidence. Who's to say that it will ever be found. If the city did actually sink into the sea it could be miles beneath the ocean and covered by millenniums of sediment. So I believe it existed, not so sure we'll ever find it and if we do it will be difficult to prove that it is actually the lost city of Atlantis.

The monster from the deep.  Compelling thought, eh?\n\nWe know there are giant quid deep in the ocean, from suckermarks found on whales.  So, who knows?

hey there!\n\nI live in alaska and i know a man was in Homer, Alaska on vacation - think it was last year and he caught one that was over 500lbs. He sold it and made enough from the sale of meat to pay for his whole vacation.

I watched that in a documentary! On the History channel or something... sorry I can't actually answer you're question I'm just letting you know that I like what you asked.  Maybe thought, maybe because of all the trade going on? Like people were selling the blue rocks (was it the blue ones? don't remember) they were selling them as jewellery. Actually! I have the answer! The blue rocks are in an ancient story that a blue rock would lead you closer to God - blue mountains - so when trades people came from wales to sell this little blue rock as a pendant they thought "ah ha" and went to mine it to bring it back (by boats) to their village to bring them greater luck!\nMan I'm a genius!

Yes I did know that the  story of the Flood has been told by several different sources, but it is not a myth as there is proof that the globe was flooded, shels have been found on dry land,  bits of the Ark were found on Mount Ararat! and of course as you mention the tale came out again through several sources in the world from religious sorces as well as non religious sorces

I know that the Cherry Creek Reservoir in Denver, Colorado has sunken ships and airplanes.  You may want to check that out.

Well,  there is a new island forming just south of the big island.  It is about 3000 feet under sea, and is not expected to break the surface of the ocean for another 10,000 years.  I'd say that is pretty fast in geological terms.
