Russia's Shiny Secret - A Huge Treasure Trove Of Diamonds Inside Impact Crater

By Meera Dolasia, September 20, 2012

Back in 1970, when Russia was part of the Soviet Union, there was a diamond crater discovered formed by an asteroid that fell at that place thousands of years ago. They didn't use its worth since the Soviet Union was very rich and produced there own gems but now that it is in-depended they start using it. It can't actually be used to create jewelry but can be used for the creation of unbreakable glass since from the force that the asteroid hit the Earth, it can't be 'broken down'. According to the article,  it is a "supply that they claim is vast enough to fulfill global demand for at least, the next 3,000 years."

I think this is very interesting and can save Russia as a country if there is an economical need. The weird thing is that they knew that  the gem's existence for more that 20 years and they didn't want to tell the rest of the world which is really weird.

This Summer - Transform 'Nuisance' Ghost Ants Into Beautiful Gems

Meera Dolasia, August 3, 2012

Hearing the word ghost ants it comes to my mind a picture of ants that are almost invisible. And that's what they exactly are. But they have a little bit of 'magic' in them. Whatever they eat, you can see it at their back and legs. Well... just the color. An Indian scientist tested it because his wife told him that those ants came and drank the spilled milk and turned white. Putting colored sugar drops in a lab, he brought these ants at his labratory and tested them. And it turns out really cool. 

I think that this is really cool and very 'creative' from nature and since I hate ants because they are so annoying this article made me look at them from another angle.
