A Fluorite (CaF2) specimen from Namibia, photographed in the shade with a small UV light just out of shot to show the fluorescence.
Fluorite (also called fluorspar) is the mineral form of calcium fluoride, and belongs to the halide mineral group.
Many specimens of fluorite have a strong enough fluorescence to allow the observer to take it outside in sunlight, and then move it into shade to see the colour change with a UV light.
Only a few minerals have this level of fluorescence. Fluorite typically glows a blue-violet colour under Ultraviolet (UV) light.

This image, captured by the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) on the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, shows the spiral galaxy NGC 5714, about 130 million light-years away in the constellation of Boötes (the Herdsman). NGC 5714 is classified as a Sc spiral galaxy, but its spiral arms — the dominating feature of spiral galaxies — are almost impossible to see, as NGC 1787 presents itself at an almost perfectly edge-on angle.
Discovered by William Herschel in 1787, NGC 5714 was host to a fascinating and rare event in 2003. A faint supernova appeared about 8000 light-years below the central bulge of NGC 5714. Supernovae are the huge, violent explosions of dying stars, and the one that exploded in NGC 5714 — not visible in this much later image — was classified as a Type Ib/c supernova and named SN 2003dr. It was particularly interesting because its spectrum showed strong signatures of calcium.
Calcium-rich supernovae are rare and hence of great interest to astronomers. Astronomers still struggle to explain these particular explosions as their existence presents a challenge to both observation and theory. In particular, their appearance outside of galaxies, their lower luminosity compared to other supernovae, and their rapid evolution are still open questions for researchers.

This is where the river changes color. It's caused by a chemical reaction between sulfur and calcium carbonate.

This really is a mysterious place. Many of the places I explore the various elements and artifacts are fairly easy to discern their one time use but this place is quite mysterious and even has something of a sinister feel to it.

One of my favorite places is Bear Lake which sits on the Idaho-Utah border. I enjoy looking at the blue, clear Caribbean-like water. Bear Lake contains abundant suspended microscopic particles of white-colored calcium carbonate (lime) that reflect the waterâs natural blue color back to the surface, giving the lake its intense turquoise-blue color. This color is why Bear Lake is known as the âCaribbean of the Rockies.â These particles of calcium carbonate are mostly derived from limestones and dolomites found in the Bear River Range.
Bear Lake straddles the Utah-Idaho border, and slightly more than half of the 110-square-mile lake lies in Utah. At a maximum historic surface elevation of 5,923 feet, the lake is 20 miles long and more than 7 miles wide with a shoreline length of roughly 48 miles and a maximum depth of 208 feet. It is situated in the southern half of the nearly 50 mile long and 5 to 10 mile wide Bear Lake Valley. The Valley is bounded by the Preuss Range and Bear Lake Plateau on the east and by the Bear River Range on the west. While the valleyâs west flank has an incline to the Bear River Range that is relatively gentle, the valleyâs east side rises abruptly to the Bear Lake Plateau and Preuss Range. The floor of Bear Lake mirrors surrounding topography, with the steepest and deepest part of the lake bed located off the lakeâs eastern edge. The east side of the lake and the valley is bounded by East Bear Lake fault which is responsible for the topography.
Bear Lake is regarded to be one of the oldest lakes in North America; however, its exact age is unknown. The longest sediment core extracted from the lake bottom indicates that the lake is at least 250,000 years old, but it is likely twice that old, and could be several million years in age. Most lakes, by their nature, are short-lived through geologic time because they tend to fill with sediment, becoming wetlands and eventually dry land. But if a basin deepens at a rate faster than sediments accumulate, the lake persists; such is the case with Bear Lake. With every ground-displacing earthquake on the eastern Bear Lake fault, the Bear Lake Valley drops. Consequently, dropping of Bear Lake Valley outpaces the accumulation of sediment on the lake bed. If the lake formed when the valley began to drop about 10 million years ago, then Bear Lake's story is indeed very old.
In addition to a dropping basin, a lake needs a steady source of water to survive, especially in a semiarid environment such as the modern Bear Lake Valley. The Bear River is the largest stream flowing into Bear Lake Valley, but it has not always been connected to the lake. Without input from the river, the lake is sustained primarily by spring-fed streams and ground water entering the lake directly. Ground water provides a more consistent flow of water than local rain and snow-fed streams, enabling Bear Lake to persist through major climatic and hydrologic changes through long periods of time.

Fluorite (also called fluorspar) is the mineral form of calcium fluoride, CaF2. It belongs to the halide minerals. It crystallizes in isometric cubic habit, although octahedral and more complex isometric forms are not uncommon. This example may have Pyrite in the center but in order to verify the piece would need to be broke open.

Mammoth Hot Springs is a large complex of hot springs on a hill of travertine in Yellowstone National Park adjacent to Fort Yellowstone and the Mammoth Hot Springs Historic District. It was created over thousands of years as hot water from the spring cooled and deposited calcium carbonate (over two tons flow into Mammoth each day in a solution). Because of the huge amount of geothermal vents, travertine flourishes. Although these springs lie outside the caldera boundary, their energy has been attributed to the same magmatic system that fuels other Yellowstone geothermal areas. The hot water that feeds Mammoth comes from Norris Geyser Basin after traveling underground via a fault line that runs through limestone and roughly parallel to the Norris-to-Mammoth road. The limestone from rock formations along the fault is the source of the calcium carbonate. Shallow circulation along this corridor allows Norris' superheated water to slightly cool before surfacing at Mammoth, generally at about 170 °F (80 °C). Algae living in the warm pools have tinted the travertine shades of brown, orange, red, and green. Thermal activity here is extensive both over time and distance. The thermal flows show much variability with some variations taking place over periods ranging from decades to days. Terrace Mountain at Mammoth Hot Springs is the largest known carbonate-depositing spring in the world. The most famous feature at the springs is the Minerva Terrace, a series of travertine terraces. The terraces have been deposited by the spring over many years but, due to recent minor earthquake activity, the spring vent has shifted, rendering the terraces dry. The Mammoth Terraces extend all the way from the hillside, across the Parade Ground, and down to Boiling River. The Mammoth Hotel, as well as all of Fort Yellowstone, is built upon an old terrace formation known as Hotel Terrace. There was some concern when construction began in 1891 on the fort site that the hollow ground would not support the weight of the buildings. Several large sink holes (fenced off) can be seen out on the Parade Ground. This area has been thermally active for several thousand years. The Mammoth area exhibits much evidence of glacial activity from the Pinedale Glaciation. The summit of Terrace Mountain is covered with glacial till, thereby dating the travertine formation there to earlier than the end of the Pinedale Glaciation. Several thermal kames, including Capitol Hill and Dude Hill, are major features of the Mammoth Village area. Ice-marginal stream beds are in evidence in the small, narrow valleys where Floating Island Lake and Phantom Lake are found. In Gardner Canyon one can see the old, sorted gravel bed of the Gardner River covered by unsorted glacial till. [Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mammoth_Hot_Springs]
Yellowstone National Park is a national park located in the U.S. states of Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho. It was established by the U.S. Congress and signed into law by President Ulysses S. Grant on March 1, 1872. Yellowstone was the first National Park in the U.S. and is also widely held to be the first national park in the world. The park is known for its wildlife and its many geothermal features, especially Old Faithful Geyser, one of its most popular features. It has many types of ecosystems, but the subalpine forest is the most abundant. It is part of the South Central Rockies forests ecoregion. [Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellowstone_National_Park]

Taken in the early morning. Narrative from Mono Lake's website. The reserve was established to preserve the spectacular "tufa towers," calcium-carbonate spires and knobs formed by interaction of freshwater springs and alkaline lake water. It also protects the lake surface itself as well as the wetlands and other sensitive habitat for the 1 – 2 million birds that feed and rest at Mono Lake each year.
Mono Lake is a majestic body of water covering about 65 square miles. It is an ancient lake, over 1 million years old -- one of the oldest lakes in North America. It has no outlet.
Throughout its long existence, salts and minerals have washed into the lake from Eastern Sierra streams. Freshwater evaporating from the lake each year has left the salts and minerals behind so that the lake is now about 2 1/2 times as salty as the ocean and very alkaline.

When most people take a Calcium supplement they take Calcium Carbonate or Calcium Citrate. I didn't want to do that so I did my research and came up with something I felt was better. Ron Teagarden, from Dragon Herbs, sells this Calcium Supplement made from Fresh Water Pearls that are ground into a powder. We've been using Dragon Herb's teas for years so I trust this brand.

Carbide Willson ruins - Happy Window Wednesday!
“Carbide” ruins, Gatineau Park, Chelsea, QC.
“Thomas Leopold Willson (1860–1915) was an inquisitive, adaptable, Canadian inventor. He experimented with a range of industrial and chemical processes, including a lighting system that failed to find a market and electro-thermal reductions of metallic oxides, which did result in marketing success. Willson is best known for his commercial process of making calcium carbide and using it to generate acetylene fuel. Although another inventor in France also made calcium carbide in the same year (1892), Willson’s technique was cheaper. Willson’s technique led to the formation of what became Union Carbide, which is now owned by Dow Chemical.
In 1895, Willson developed a carbide industry on the Welland Canal in southern Ontario, expanding with plants in Ottawa, and in Shawinigan, Quebec. Acetylene lighting became the standard for lighting on streets, in buildings, and in car headlamps and marine signals, making “Carbide” Willson a successful industrialist. His Ottawa-located International Marine Signal Building—the manufacturing site of acetylene-fired marine buoys and lighthouse beacons—was reputed to be the longest building in the British Empire.
Willson fulfilled his industrialist role socially, as well. He settled in Ottawa in 1901 with a home on Metcalfe Street and a summer house on Meech Lake in Gatineau. Willson was a member of several social clubs and hosted many political and social events. He also loved new and grand schemes. He was the first automobile owner in Ottawa and included laboratories in his home and his summer house. Willson’s wide-ranging experiments resulted in over 70 patents and earned Willson a University of Toronto prize for his discoveries. Willson also applied his innovative ideas in a number of industries: carbide, pulp and paper, railways, dams, and fertilizers.
One of Willson’s innovations involved the production of a nitrogen-based solid that could be ground up and used as fertilizer. Willson believed that the process could revolutionize agriculture and in 1912, set out to establish a small fertilizer plant at Meech Lake. His project was financially backed by Interstate Chemical, an American fertilizer company, and James Buchanan Duke, the American tobacco and textile millionaire known for his financial support of what became Duke University.
Willson’s factory surpassed expectations, but Willson’s inventiveness was not matched with financial acumen. With so many projects, Willson was financially stretched. He missed a payment to Duke, who then seized Willson’s Meech Lake factory. Duke wasn’t interested in maintaining the factory and let it fall into ruin. Willson died a short time later, suffering a heart attack in 1915 while in New York attempting to raise money for industrial plans in Newfoundland and Labrador.”
