AGATES AND FLINTS. THE GENESIS OF BEAUTY - THE BEAUTY OF GENESIS
Discover the fascinating world of the genesis of agates and flints in the book "Agates and flints. The genesis of beauty - the beauty of genesis". This unique publication from the "Science for the Curious" series presents a novel look at the formation of these extraordinary minerals, combining science with aesthetics. Immerse yourself in a logical analysis based on geological facts and mineralogical observations, which sheds new light on previous interpretations. Learn about the role of depth, pressure and degassing of silicic sol in the process of creating agates and flints.
- Novel views on the genesis of agates
- Logical analysis based on geological facts
- Detailed analysis of previously overlooked observation areas
- Explanation of the banded structure of banded flints
- Classification of agates with division into syngenetic and epigenetic
- Illustrations and animations to facilitate understanding of the processes
This book is the result of co-authored work, which for the first time takes into account the interrelationships of parameters such as depth and pressure in the intrusion and the degree of potential degassing of silicic sol. The role of gas bubbles and pigment transport depending on these parameters was also analyzed. This approach made it possible to solve basic dilemmas and contradictions, presenting them in a simplified manner, in accordance with the assumptions of the "Science for the Curious" series.
The author's proposal for the classification of agates with division into syngenetic and epigenetic, presented in the book, is another innovative approach to the topic. In addition, an animation also illustrates Ms. Janina Wrzak's original proposal for explaining the unusual, banded structure of unique banded flints. All this makes this book not only a source of knowledge, but also an inspiration for further research and discoveries.
