Me in the Geode, before the

On my way out I got to see the
film rewinding.

At the museum of Paleontology
I found many interesting things. One was this Iguana with all of it's internal
organs inlated.

Translates to no air, no water,
only what's necessary. :) Then the picture shows the carmal river and stuff
like that. I thought it was cute.

The diamond exposition was informative.
I learned that colored diamonds are extremely valuable. Reds and greens
are the rarest, yellows have tiny nitrogen impurities, pink and browns
are due to a crystal structure, and blue ones(like the hope diamond) have
bits of boron impurities. Under a UV light blue diamonds glow blood red.
This rock shows eclogites and peridotites, which are often mother rocks
for diamonds.

Part of De beers collection,
