As an aside Crystallography itself is an interesting subject.. How cystals form in thier unique ways.. even ice(water).. Each precious stone has its own unique lacework and crystal composition.. indentifiable as a "substance" unique.. A diamond is not a diamond because its clear and hard.. Its a diamond because of its structure and makeup.. also a topaz and other stones.. Its cystaline structure is idenifiable and different from other precious stones..

I present Crystallography as an intesting subject to study to those that have the time and energy.. I stumbbled on the subject a few years ago.. but am no Gemologist..

So interesting that ICE(drystals) have air in it thats why it does not form under water.. it floats.. The bottom of lakes(and ocean) are not frozen because of that(partly)..

Is GoD COOL OR WHAT?...

Thank you oh so very much for sharing your insights on the Scriptural metaphors of gemstones and on Crystallography!

Of a truth, were it not for the crystalline geometry of frozen water, it would not float and the life beneath would not be insulated and would die.
