Those eligible for phase 1c include people ages 16 and older with one or more serious chronic health conditions. Caregivers for those with chronic condi- tions and pregnant women are also included. That’s an estimated 1.1 million Tennesseans, Piercey said. When asked about the estimated population of phase 1c in Shelby County, the Health Department offered this response. “There is no way to estimate how many people have those conditions because they are not notifiable diseases, meaning they are not conditions that practitioners are required to report to the Health Department,” Carr said.

  • Gemstones, Precious and Semiprecious Stones
    Gemstones, precious and semiprecious stones Precious and semiprecious stones, in addition to gold, silver, and platinum, are the most commonly used components of jewelry. Precious stones: Diamonds have traditionally been the most highly prized of such stones, varying in color from yellow to bluish white and sometimes reaching enormous size. Rubies, emeralds, and sapphires are other precious stones used for jewelry, as are the less costly chrysoberyl, topaz, and zircon. Semiprecious stones: Amethyst, garnet, opal, aquamarine, jade , turquoise, agate, onyx, lapis lazuli, and malachite. Stones of organic origin: Amber, a fossil tree resin, is a highly valued stone. Pearls and corals, though animal in origin rather than mineral, are also usually considered gemstones. Gemstone is any of various minerals highly prized for beauty, durability, and rarity. Of the more than 2,000 identified natural minerals, fewer than 100 are used as gemstones and only 16 have achieved importance. These are beryl, chrysoberyl, corundum, diamond, feldspar, garnet, jade , lazurite, olivine, opal, quartz , spinel , topaz, tourmaline, turquoise, and zircon. Some of these minerals provide more than one type of gem. Beryl, for example, provides emeralds and aquamarines, while corundum provides rubies and sapphires. In virtually all cases, the minerals have to be cut and polished for use in jewelry. Gemstones have attracted humankind since ancient times, and have long been used for jewelry. The prime requisite for a gem is that it must be beautiful. The beauty may lie in color or lack of color, in the latter case, extreme limpidity and "fire" may provide the attraction. A gem must also be durable to withstand the wear and tear of constant handling.

  • Lapis Lazuli
    LAPIS LAZULI Among the world’s many gemstones, lapis lazuli, or “lapis” as it is familiarly known, has a distinction. Many scholars and archaeologists believe that it was the first gemstone ever mined in quantity. The oldest known lapis deposits, located in Afghanistan, have been systematically mined since about 4000 B.C. Few gemstones display color as rich as the deep, royal blue of fine lapis. Adding to its visual appeal, lapis often exhibits glittering, golden flecks of pyrite. When cut and polished into cabochons and set in gold, lapis gemstones have a distinctive beauty all their own. Understanding lapis lazuli, which is a rock, requires a basic understanding of lazurite, which is a mineral. Lazurite is the primary component of lapis lazuli and is also the cause of its blue color. Lazurite, or basic sodium calcium aluminum sulfate chlorosilicate (Na,Ca)8Si6Al6O24[(SO4),S,Cl,(OH)]2, is a tectosilicate or framework silicate that is made up of 13.5 percent sodium, 7.8 percent calcium, 15.8 percent aluminum, 16.3 percent silicon, 6.0 percent sulfur, 38.1 percent oxygen, and small percentages of chlorine and hydrogen. The color of pure lazurite is a deep azure. It crystallizes in the isometric (cubic) system, usually as dodecahedral and occasionally as cubic crystals, but most often occurs in massive form. Lazurite is usually opaque, has a dull-to-greasy luster, poor cleavage in six directions, a pale-blue streak, a Mohs hardness of 5.0-5.5, and a specific gravity of 2.4-2.5. Lazurite forms from high-grade, contact metamorphism of silica-poor marine limestone that contains available sulfur and chlorine.

  • Emerald – the May Birthstone
    Learning Series: Birthstones – May Emerald – The May Birthstone Background Emerald, by definition, is a green to blue-green beryl where the color is derived from impurities of chromium, vanadium, or a combination of both. There is controversy, however. Some say that to be an emerald, the stone must have the impurity chromium, even though some intense grass-green emeralds colored only by vanadium impurities look exactly the same as the so called ‘real emeralds' with chromium impurities. Within an emerald’s depths are often tiny fractures or inclusions which the French call "jardin", or garden, because of their resemblance to foliage. Owning to the rich green color, emerald has long been associated with spring and symbolizes love and rebirth. It is so prized that, carat for carat, a fine emerald may be two to three times as valuable as a diamond. According to Indian mythology, the name emerald was first translated from Sanskrit as “marakata,” meaning “the green of growing things.” The name we know it as today comes from the Greek 'smaragdos' via the Old French 'esmeralde', and really just means 'green gemstone'. The history of emeralds can be traced back to antiquity. Records show that the stone was known and sold in markets in Babylon as early as 4000 BC. It is a stone that was worshiped by the Incas and is mentioned in biblical information about the apocalypse. Emeralds are most frequently found inside a form of shale – a fine-grained sedimentary rock. Emerald-bearing shale has undergone recrystallization due to changes in the physical environment, such as pressure and temperature.
