BEAUTIFUL<br />
MINERALS<br />
AND<br />
STONES<br />
YOU<br />
WANT<br />
FOR YOUR<br />
COLLECTION<br />
Contrary to popular belief, not<br />
everything you dig out of land<br />
is dirty and ugly. Some of the<br />
jewelry most powerful men and<br />
women wear came from the<br />
ground. Before it went through<br />
all the refining and polishing<br />
processes, miners, scientists and<br />
engineers had to use different<br />
processes to extract these<br />
minerals and gemstones from<br />
the deepest parts of Earth.<br />
Back in college, we had to<br />
identify different types of<br />
minerals and stones in order for<br />
us to pass. What was once an<br />
assumption that these types of<br />
classes would be boring turned<br />
into one of the best classes<br />
we’ve ever had. You see, most of<br />
us believed that these minerals<br />
and stones would only be boring<br />
to look at. We expected to see<br />
different shades of gray and<br />
black. When the professors<br />
started showing us the minerals<br />
and stones they’ve collected<br />
around the world, we were<br />
amazed at how beautiful they<br />
are. Some of my classmates even<br />
wanted to steal them given their<br />
value and beauty.<br />
<strong>No</strong>w, we see more of them on the<br />
internet. As we surf the internet<br />
and search for beautiful minerals<br />
and stones, we see beautiful ones<br />
that really exist! Here are some<br />
of the most beautiful minerals<br />
and stones we found on the<br />
internet.<br />
