The processes which are involved are much more complex and have so many levels. One interesting aspect experienced by the industry lately is the recycling of sand and gravel. The increasing scarcity of gravel rock and sand without disturbing the natural habitat of the world is becoming more and more worrisome for

Hornfels DEFINITION Hornfels is a very fine-grained metamorphosed shale rock‚ usually gray to black in color. Mineral composition in variable but is usually made up of some combination of equidimensional mosaic of quartz or calcite along with inequidimensional sheet silicates in random orientation or sometimes containing andalusite porphyroblasts. OCCURANCE Hornfels forms when shale rocks come into contact with a hot igneous intrusion body at lower pressures and at the equilibrium temperature

Pyrite is a very interesting mineral for many reasons. The name Pyrite comes from the Greek word “pyr” which means “fire‚” and was named because it was found that sparks would fly from it if struck against another minerals like steel. In early times‚ this sparking ability gave people a way of creating fire‚ and in later times‚ this ability made it popular for use in early firearms devices like the wheel lock. Today Pyrite is called “Fools Gold” because throughout history people have mistaken it for
