From Ceylon to the Gem Strip
- Biruni did not mention tourmaline as an independent mineral. Moreover, about the varieties of tourmaline.
- Multi-colored pebbles were brought to Europe from Ceylon to Amsterdam.
- Indigolite was found in the Urals at the beginning of the 18th century. This is the famous Gem Strip, where the Mora mines were founded near Shaitanka (now the village of Oktyabrskoye). It was from them that tourmalines of different colors began to arrive.
Indigolite is rare, let's talk about the blue color of this amazing stone.
This amazing blue
Blue is one of the most mysterious colors. Many people love the warm blue seas, where you can not only swim, but also mindlessly look into the azure distance. And who in childhood did not love to look into the blue sky, watching the passing clouds?
The mystery of the color blue has not yet been solved.
- For example, I am surprised that ordinary farmer's pants have conquered the whole world. I'm talking about jeans that were essentially made for US farmers from the very beginning. Dense, strong, non-marking blue. It is completely incomprehensible why these pants, in different variations, have been worn all over the world since 1853 by people of different incomes - both rich and poor? Maybe it's the color of the pants?
