 I’m going to try to post this every Monday evening and give you a chance to read about some special chemical. As you can see, this week it’s about gemstones and what gives individual gems their characteristic (and often highly prized) appearance.

If there are those of you out that who like to be amazed at the amazing nature of Nature, try checking this site on a daily basis!  Each day you will be treated to a different photographic astronomical phenomenon.  My recent favorite is the picture from November 25.  If you want to look around, look through the archives.

 Welcome to the first post on our new chemistry web blog. I hope that as the site develops, you’ll find the information here helpful, informative, and enlightening. I enjoy finding interesting chemistry links . . . one thing I would like to do with this blog is to introduce you to some interesting chemicals. I’m going to feature a Chemical of the Week; to get us started, here is an interesting article on the chemistry of fall colors. Give it a read!
