Swiss Blue Topaz Faceted Stone Suppliers and Manufacturers

Like wax candles, Rouseki (Pyrophyllite) is white and semi-transparent, and has a waxy texture when touched. It is very brittle, and tends to crack largely along the stone joints. Up close, this stone looks grayish white, but may look blue from a distance. The ore looks so similar to pottery stone ore that they cannot be distinguished. But there is a difference in their texture, color, and how they crack, and with experience, their differences become more visible. They not only look and feel different, but their applications and properties also differ significantly. It's used as Firebricks, crucibles, glazes, fire-resistant powders, etc.

Juniperus communis Fam: Cupressaceae Juniper is widely distributed throughout the northern hemisphere and its birthplace is obscure. It is found in Europe, North Africa, North America and northern Asia. The main commercial producers are Hungary and southern Europe, especially Italy. The berries were known to Greek, Roman and early Arab physicians as a medicinal fruit and are mentioned in the Bible. In the Renaissance, they were recommended against snake bite, and plague and pestilence. Because of its air-cleansing piney fragrance, the foliage was used as a strewing herb to freshen stale air and the Swiss burned the berries with heating fuel in winter to sanitize stale air. Gin, the alcoholic drink that gets its unique flavour from juniper berries, is named from an adaptation of the Dutch word for juniper, "geneva". Spice Description Initially hard and pale green, juniper berries ripen to blue-black, become fleshy and contain three sticky, hard, brown seeds. When dried, the berries remain soft but if broken open one will find the pith surrounding the seeds is easily crumbled. Bouquet: Fragrant and flowery, combining the aromas of gin and turpentine. Flavour:Aromatic, bittersweet and piny. Hotness Scale: 1 Preparation and Storage Juniper berries are at their best when they are still moist and soft to the touch, squashing fairly easily between one's fingers. It is possible to make a purée from juniper berries or to extract the flavour and aroma by macerating them in hot water, but as all parts are edible and the texture is agreeable, it is usually just as well to use the entire fruit, split or crushed. The berries are quite powerful, one heaped teaspoon of crushed fruits serving for a dish for four people. Store in a cool place in an airtight container. Culinary Uses Juniper berries perform a quite unique role, by contributing as much to the character of food through their 'freshening' ability, as they do by way of their specific taste profile. As well as flavouring a dish, juniper cuts the gaminess of game, reduces the fatty effect of duck and pork and perks up a bread stuffing. The strong hearty flavour of juniper goes well with strong meats, such as game. Pork chops, roast leg of lamb, veal, rabbit, venison and wild boar are all enlivened with a hint of juniper. Juniper berries blend well with other herbs and spices, especially thyme, sage, oregano, marjoram, bay leaves, allspice and onions and garlic. One application I am particularly fond of is in a simple chicken casserole, It can effectively be added to wine marinades for meats, and is used with coriander in smoking meat. It seasons pâtés and sauces and in Sweden. Goulash and Sauerkraut often feature a juniper taste, as do some home-pickled meats like salt beef, salt pork and ham. Generally juniper can well be used in any dish requiring alcohol. Fruit dishes, such as apple tart and pickled peaches, also harmonize with this flavour.

Quartzite is a naturally occurring metamorphic rock composed mainly of quartz, which is a mineral that belongs to the group of silicate minerals. It forms when sandstone is subjected to intense heat and pressure deep within the earth's crust. This process causes the sand grains in the sandstone to recrystallize and fuse together into a dense, hard rock. Quartzite is a very hard and durable rock that is resistant to both chemical and physical weathering. It is commonly used in construction and landscaping applications because of its durability and attractive appearance. Quartzite is often used as a building stone, flooring material, and as a decorative stone in gardens and landscapes.

Pegmatite is a type of igneous rock that is characterized by its unique texture and mineral composition. It is known for its exceptionally large crystals and often contains valuable minerals and gemstones. Here are some key features and information about pegmatite: Pegmatites are primarily composed of quartz, feldspar (especially potassium feldspar), and mica. These minerals are often found in exceptionally large crystals within pegmatite veins. The most distinguishing feature of pegmatite is its coarse-grained texture. It contains crystals that are much larger than those found in typical igneous rocks. Crystals can range from a few centimeters to several meters in size. Pegmatites are formed through the slow cooling of magma deep within the Earth's crust. The slow cooling allows for the growth of large crystals. Additionally, the composition of the magma and the presence of volatiles (such as water and gases) play a role in the formation of Pegmatites. Pegmatites are known for their mineral diversity. They can contain a wide variety of minerals, including not only quartz, feldspar, and mica but also rare and valuable minerals such as tourmaline, beryl, garnet, and spodumene. Because of their association with valuable minerals and gemstones, Pegmatites are often of interest to mineral collectors and gemstone enthusiasts. Some of the world's most famous gemstone deposits are associated with Pegmatites.

Product Name: Rosemary Rosmarinus Officinalis Botanical name: Rosmarinus officinalis HS Code: 12119094 Origin: Egypt Rosemary leaves Rosemary is an aromatic evergreen shrub with leaves similar to hemlock needles. It is native to the Mediterranean regions but is reasonably hardy in cool climates. Special cultivars like 'Arp' can withstand winter temperatures down to about â??20 �°C (â??4 �°F). It can withstand droughts, surviving a severe lack of water for lengthy periods. It is considered a potentially invasive species and its seeds are often difficult to start, with a low germination rate and relatively slow growth, but the plant can live as long as 35 years. The plant flowers in spring and summer in temperate climates, but the plants can be in constant bloom in warm climates; flowers are white, pink, purple or deep blue. Rosemary also has a tendency to flower outside its normal flowering season; it has been known to flower as late as early December, and as early as mid-February (in the northern hemisphere) History Illustration from an Italian herbal, circa 1500 The first mention of rosemary is found on cuneiform stone tablets as early as 5000 BCE, after which Egyptians used it for embalming corpses starting in 3500 BCE. There is no further mention of rosemary until the ancient Greeks and Romans. Pliny the Elder (23â??79 CE) wrote about it in The Natural History,[20] as did Pedanius Dioscorides (c. 40 CE to c. 90 CE), a Greek botanist (amongst other things). He talked about rosemary in his most famous writing, De Materia Medica, one of the most influential herbal books in history. The herb later made its way east to China and was naturalized there as early as 220 CE, during the late Han dynasty. FOR MORE INFO & ORDER CONTACT THE SPECIALIST NOW (24/7)
