Prehistoric Exploitation of Limnosilicites in Northern Hungary: Problems and Perspectives Zsolt Mester and Norbert Faragó
Archaeologia Polona, vol. 54: 2016, 1 – 5 PL ISSN 0066 - 5924 Editorial The first scientific investigations of the sources of flint in Poland were undertaken by archaeologist Stefan Krukowski and geologist Jan Samsonowicz in the early 20th century. Krukowski used archaeological materials to identify the macroscopic char- acteristics of ‘chocolate’ flints, described their differences, and showed the potential location of the deposits (Krukowski 1920: 189–195; Budziszewski 2008: 33). In the search for deposits of flint, their outcrops, and prehistoric mines, Krukowski was accompanied by young geologist Jan Samsonowicz. The result of their cooperation was the discovery in 1921 of in situ deposits and surface accumulations of limestones containing fragments of flint and, in 1922, the identification of a prehistoric mine at Krzemionki Opatowskie (Krukowski 1923; Samsonowicz 1923; Bąbel 2014). This long tradition of studying siliceous rocks has continued at the Institute of Archaeology and Ethnology, Polish Academy of Science. In 1965 Zygmunt Krzak published the first characterization of gray white-spotted (świeciechów) flint (Krzak 1965) and five years later he described Turonian flint from Ożarów (Krzak 1970). In 1971 Romuald Schild devised a classification of ‘chocolate’ flint from the north-east margin of the Holy Cross (Świątokrzyskie) Mountains (Schild 1971, 1976) and Bogdan Balcer investigated a flint mine in Świeciechów, Kraśnik district, and the use of gray white-spotted (świeciechów) flint during the Neolithic (Balcer 1975, 1976). In 1980 Jacek Lech discussed the geology of Jurassic-Cracow flint and showed its relevance to archaeology (Lech 1980). Since that time Polish archeologists have carried out many investigations on different types of flint (e.g., Budziszewski and Michniak 1983/1989; Pawlikowski 1989; Budziszewski and Michinak eds 1995; Schild and Sulgostowska eds 1997; Matraszek and Sałaciński eds 2002; Gutowski 2004; Borkowski et al., 2008; Migaszewski et al., 2006, Krajcarz et al., 2014). -
Review of Existing Systems of Jaspers Nomenclature and Classification in Poland and Worldwide
GOSPODARKA SUROWCAMI MINERALNYMi – mINERAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT 2017 Volume 33 Issue 2 Pages 43–52 DOI 10.1515/gospo-2017-0011 Tomasz Powolny*, magdalena dumańska-słowik** Review of existing systems of jaspers nomenclature and classification in Poland and worldwide Introduction “Jasper”, from the ancient Greek “spotted stone” (Żaba 2010), is a widely used term for SiO2-bearing rocks of sedimentary, metasomatic or metamorphic origin (Ryka and Mali- szewska 1991; kostov 2010). it is mainly built up of quartz and chalcedony, whereas Fe and Mn oxides/hydroxides, chlorite, epidote, feldspars occur as accessory phases (Żaba 2010). Jaspers show a variety of different colors patterns, and textures, which together with their technical properties render them useful for jewelry (dietrich 2009; kostov 2010). Accor- ding to o’donghue (2006, vide: kostov 2010) this name refers to an “archetypal, collectable beach pebble”. The various geological environments, in which jaspers may be formed in combination with their strongly diverse mineralogical composition cause them to be a poly- genetic and one of the most diverse type of rocks worldwide. Hence, the problem of their nomenclature and classification has not been solved completely and seems to be an impor- tant issue that gemologists and petrologists should be aware of. The classification of jaspers is frequently based on their technical, aesthetic or economical properties (dietrich 2009). “dalmatian stone”, also known as “dalmatian jasper”, is a good example of this. it received its name due to of its characteristic appearance resembling a dalmatian’s fur. Thus, regard- * Eng., ** Ph.D. Eng., Faculty of Geology, Geophysics and Environmental Protection, AGH University of Science and Technology, Krakow, Poland; e-mail: [email protected] 44 Powolny and Dumańska-Słowik 2017 / Gospodarka Surowcami Mineralnymi – Mineral Resources Management 33(2), 43–52 less of their origin (metamorphic, igneous or sedimentary), all rocks that looked like jaspers, became jaspers. -

Gemstone guide book Stones are millions of years old and were forged during the earliest part of the Earth’s formation. The variety of the stones and their properties have been fascinating people since the dawn of time. People have been using them as objects for healing rituals, spiritual advancement, divination practices and as decoration to connote power. Some people can feel the natural vibration energy present in the stones. While wearing particular stones, the energy of the stone interact with the human electromagnetic field to bring about energetic changes. AMBER Origin Amber is the fossilized tree resin. Different kinds of fossilized resins can be found in different places around the world, however in each region they were created from different tree saps, under different conditions and at different times. Amber that can be found in the countries around the Baltic Sea is generally considered the highest quality. Baltic amber derived from a conifer tree and is around 40 million years old. Millions of years ago there was a lush forest at the place where the Baltic Sea now lies. It is probably the warm climate that caused trees to lose their resin. A sticky, gold substance flowed down the tree, trapping small insects, pieces of plants, sand or even drops of water. Such organic particles inside amber are called inclusions. These inclusions are an excellent research material for scientists. Baltic amber has also the highest content of amber acid compared to other fossilized resins and is most prized for medicinal use and considered to be the most beautiful. It makes it the most favored kind of amber used for jewellery. -
