What is Fire Agate?

Fire agate is a brown, microcrystalline quartz (chalcedony) which has a botryoidal (grape-like) growth form, and which contains layers of plate-like crystals of iron oxide (limonite) in various planes within it. The layers are small enough that light entering them forms interference colors known as "fire." The iridescent colors of red, gold, green and rarely, blue-violet, result from interference between diffracted light rays traveling through and reflecting off of these thin layers. (We see the same effect when looking at the rainbow colors at the surface of an oily puddle of water; or in the "orient"

Gemstones of Mexico

I was born in Durango,Mexico
Direct my mines in Mexico, do not buy from middlemen, precious stones, are being more expensive to go hand in hand, always buy direct from the mine.

El cristo más famoso de México

 

Ignacio Leal Arellano "El Santero de San Miguel"
Sin querer sin darme cuenta he creado,el cristo más famoso de México,no se si el cristo más famoso de América (y lo digo sin distinguir fronteras) o el cristo más famoso del mundo,pero de México si lo es,hace unos días,estaba haciendo esta consulta en Google,pues me preguntaba cual seria el cristo 
mas famoso de Mexico.
Supuse que sería el llamado "Cristo del veneno",que esta en la Catedral de México,pero no, para mi satisfacción apareció el mío,que no es sino el de todos ustedes,es decir el de todo el pueblo.

El cuadro más famoso del mundo

Es la pintura más famosa del mundo,por su profundo significado,creada por Alberto Thirion,al descubrir el mundo del cual forma parte.

La pintura y sobre todo el dibujo,solo a descubierto,el tesoro celosamente guardado en mi corazón.

La Muerte del Diablo es ahora;La Obra Más Famosa del Mundo

La Muerte del Diablo es ahora;La Pintura Más Famosa11-2-09-art_019.jpgdel Mundo, y si no lo fuera debería de ser-lo.
Por que? por la importancia y trascendencia de su tema,para que sirve La Gioconda? de Leonardo,o todos los otros "monos" que andan por ahí rodeados de fama.

Definitiva-mente,suponiendo que sirvan para halgo,no creo que ninguno tenga la importancia que tiene "La muerte del diablo".
Debería de ser el icono mas importante de la humanidad,el sello y márchamo que sostenga a  la humanidad.

Ciertamente el mundo esta inundado de "arte",solo que es, superficial o absolutamente inútil.una obra de arte vale y debe
