The earliest known gold jewelry made in the Americas has been discovered in southern Peru.

The gold necklace, made nearly 4,000 years ago, was found in a burial site.

Archaeologist Eugenia Zevallos showed the necklace to journalists.

“This finding is very important for Peru and the whole of South America. It’s a gold necklace, made of gold beads laminated with turquoise…It’s from 4,500 BC so it’s 6,500 years old.”

Researchers say the necklace suggests someone at the time already had the time and knowledge to make this ornament. This is a completely shock to researchers because people living in this region at the time were found primarily hunter-gatherers.

There is no evidence at the site that shows how it was made.

For now they are just specks only visible through a microscope,but a century form now the pearls from these tiny freshwater mussels could be on sale in an upmarket jewellry store.

They endangered species could be saved from extinction thanks to a captive breeding scheme launched by Environment Agency Wales.

Just 100 of the original batch of 70,000 have made it this far and these three-year-old mussels-the size of a pinhead-are properly visible only through a microscope.

They will not be able to leave their hatchery for up to five years and will not reach full adulthood for at least a decade.

But with a lifespan of more than 100 years,they have the time to develop and to benefit from what the agency hopes will be improved water quality in Welsh rivers to meet European Union guidelines.

The agency’s Huw Jones said:”We are really pleased to see these young mussels develop.

“Their breeding cycle is such a complex one that it hasn’t been easy,but we are starting to see results.”

Agate is a variety of  chalcedony formed from layers of quartz which usually show varicolored bands. It usually occurs as rounded nodules or veins.

Often tiny quartz crystals form within the stone and add to the beauty and uniqueness of individual stones. These crystals are called druzy(sometimes misspelled as druzy). Lapidaries often cut just the drusy from an agate and jewelers use these drusy cabochons as the main stone or as an accent stone in their jewelry designs.

Some named varieties are: moss agate, eye agate; and plume agate, which looks like it’s filled with beautiful feather plumes .

Agate is a relatively inexpensive stone except for some varieties with unusual banded or scenic markings.

Agate is found all over the world including: the Africa, Asia, Brazil, Egypt, Germany, India, Italy, Mexico, Nepal, and the USA.

Here’s a very large natural pearl from the giant clam, Tridacna Gigas….only this clam could ever grow a pearl this huge!

The Pearl , having grown at the hinge of the clam, is undoubtedly one of the largest pearls in the world. Up until now, it has been virtually unknown and only has been recently named.

This large pearl below, which is partly fossilized, is also from the giant clam and still attached to the shell. Boy, these clams must enjoy making pearls! Since the large clams never leave their resting place or move, maybe that makes them more prone to grow pearls.

On the final night of the wedding, the village served a feast of meat and rice in front of the groom’s house. Far with the sword and whip, the groom leaves his parent’s home and leads his neighbors through the streets chanting Islamic songs. While after midnight, the groom at last picks up the bride and they all arrive at the party. They spend all night dancing and singing from sunset to noon. The word Nubia derives from an ancient term for gold and refers to the goldmine for which the area was once famous. That gold still shines today as the bride is draped with jewelry as if she was royalty. It’s now passed three in the morning, but by Nubian standards, the party has just begun. After they change rings, mother kisses her son and his new bride as they began their life together, carrying on their ancient customs, Egyptian by nationality, but Nubian by tradition.
