What is the difference between rocks, minerals and gemstones?
What is the difference between rocks, minerals and gemstones? // In this video you will learn the definitions of rocks, minerals, and gemstones and uncover the differences between rocks, minerals, and gemstones. You will also discover how rocks, minerals, and gemstones are formed, and explore examples from each category. You will see examples of interesting igneous rocks, sedimentary rocks, and metamorphic rocks, as well as examples of minerals formed either through crystallization from magma or precipitation from solution, like the giant selenite crystals from the Naica Cave in Mexico. You will also learn which qualities a mineral has to have in order to get gemstones out of that mineral and you will explore the glittering precious gemstones and semi-precious gemstones.

About me: My name is Maria Baias and I’m a scientist turned Sci-Fi/Fantasy writer. While teaching a university course on Inorganic Chemistry, I became fascinated by minerals and rocks and the role they play in shaping interesting geological formations. That, combined with my research background in Heritage Science are what led to my interests in using science to explore and understand the wonders of our planet. I’m happy to share those stories with the rest of the world through this channel and my blog: www.mariabaias.com/blog

    RICHAT - ONLY CONFUSING TO THE IGNORANT It's got nothing to do with Meteorites, period. And clearly everything to do with the Planets Electrical field, and Electrical behaviour in the era 6,000-8,000 years ago. Today Lightning strikes on the planets surface will leave miniature formations in rock of this same shape, known as a Fulgurite (sometimes called fossilised lightning). In the era mentioned, electrical behaviour in the Solar system was greatly enhanced due to, the arrival of another planet. The main suspect being Saturn, which would explain its "New" rings. Themselves a result of huge electrical turmoil. Lightning strikes on Saturn even today can reach over 100,000 miles in length, and bridge the gap between Saturn and some of its closer Moons ! So the geological feature known as the "Richat Structure" is the result of a huge electrical strike hitting the ground, twice and possibly three times in exactly the same spot. It's a well known electrical behavioural pattern of Mother Nature, and not confined to Earth. Mars also exhibits such "odd" geological patterns, all electrically created. You need to talk to the IEEE. The Worlds Official Scientific Institute for Electricity, their based in New York !
