My pets are in awe of these beautiful eggs—they would love to try to paint their own one year. Easter and spring are times of joy as the earth awakens, plants are pushing forth from the soil, and the days are becoming warmer. Many baby animals are born in the spring, and life is burgeoning. May these eggs bring you joy and be a reminder of the earth renewing itself.

@ Colourful Metals
A physicist, a biologist and a chemist went to the seaside for the first time. The physicist watched the sea and was fascinated by the waves. He said he wanted to do some research on the fluid dynamics of the waves and walked into the sea. He never returned.

The biologist said he wanted to do research on ocean flora and fauna and walked into the sea. He, too, never returned.

The chemist waited for a long time and afterwards wrote the observation, “Physicists and biologists are soluble in seawater.”

Amazing Amethyst
Amethyst is a violet variety of quartz, taking its name from Biblical Greek amethystos meaning "not intoxicated" -- the Ancient Greeks fashioned drinking vessels out of amethyst in the belief that it would prevent one from becoming drunk. Soldiers in mediaeval Europe wore amethyst amulets into battle, due to their belief in its healing qualities. In the Church of England, bishops wear an episcopal ring which is often set with an amethyst, an allusion to the description of the Apostles as "not drunk" at Pentecost in Acts 2:15.
High-quality amethyst can be found in Siberia, Sri Lanka, Brazil, Uruguay and the Far East.

Hungarian Mineral Cave
This cave in Hungary has natural mineral formations of stalactites and stalagmites. Speleothems, sometimes referred to as formations or decorations, are cave features formed by the deposition of minerals. The word speleothem is derived from the Greek words spelaion meaning "cave" and thema meaning "deposit". The speleothems with which most people are familiar are stalactites and stalagmites. Speleothems form at varying rates as calcite crystals build up. Most scientists believe that the color of speleothems are determined by the mineral content. Pure calcite is white and almost colorless. Iron and other minerals, as well as acids from surface vegetation, combine with calcite crystals to add shades of red, orange and black to the color of speleothems.
