Though it may seem like just a children’s movie, The Dark Crystal possesses many fundamental events and themes that are present in an archetypal story. Right from the start, we see the appearance of duality. The fictional society was created from the splitting of a crystal which created two races: one good, the UrRu (Mystics) and one bad, the Skeksis.

It also may exist in different elements like long rolls, tuft of wools (Altocumulus
A large portion of the granite is made of small crystals of orthoclase feldspar which give the rock the pink or reddish colour. Other minerals present are quartz (usually gray). albite feldspar (white) and either white mica (muscovite) or black mica (biotite). The word granite means grain-rock, it weathers
A Dream by Edgar Allan Poe correlates to the symbolisms of a dream and the Crystal Merchant in The Alchemist. The Crystal Merchant represented someone who let fear controlled his life.

Rose Quartz The quartz crystal in shades of white to dark rose red is the Rose-quartz. The color is due to tiny amounts of iron, titanium or manganese im the quartz. Some of the quartz contains rutile needles. These microscopic fibers are thought to be dumortierite. There is also a rare pink quartz that the coloring is caused by minute amounts of phosphate of aluminum. This quartz is light sensitive and will fade. The first rose-quartz was found in Main.

Diamond is the hardest known substance and is usually light colored and transparent, while graphite is greasy, easily powdered, and very dark in color. Diamond is the hardest gem on Mohs’ hardness scale and graphite is the softest. Diamond is very hard because of its dense packing and interlocking atomic arrangement. Graphite, on the other hand, although it is the same element, is more loosely

Even though funding for the space program has been dramatically reduced here in the United States, space programs all over the world are still using the ISS. It is securely funded through the year 2020 and could even be used and operated until 2028.

a small quiet town where the few inhabitants of this unique part of the world will be found. The locals are friendly people, mainly running small restaurants or fishing businesses, giving them enough money to live freely. The blasé approach to life of a Caribbean person portrays a world with no sense of time or schedule, no strain to fulfil ambition, a world that is barely recognized in today’s modern corporate world that is so full of worry and responsibility.

Okay, she didn't say that last part fully since Rabia finished what she was going to say, and a part of me wondered if Hope would have finished her sentence.
