Gold and diamonds form deep underground and are brought closer to the surface through geological processes. South Africa is the world's largest gold producer, responsible for about half of global gold production. Diamonds form from carbon and are found in volcanic rock brought up from deep underground. Diamonds are mined and then cut and polished into facets before being crafted into jewelry by goldsmiths using techniques dating back centuries. Modern goldsmiths create custom rings, necklaces, and other pieces set with diamonds and other gemstones.
Metals and non metals
This document provides an introduction to metallurgy, which is the science dealing with the extraction, refining, and uses of metals. Metals can exist in three states: free/native state (like gold and silver), combined state forming oxides or sulphides, or a middle state forming sulphides, oxides, nitrides, or hydroxides. Minerals are naturally occurring elements or compounds in the Earth's crust, while ores contain a high percentage of metal that can be profitably extracted. Gangs contain impurities associated with ores, while fluxes are added to ores to remove gangue, forming a fusible slag product.
Types of Minerals and their Uses
Antimony is a metal used in batteries for storing grid power. It is silvery gray and can be found in its pure form in nature. Asbestos has fire retarding properties but causes cancer and has a bad reputation. Barium is a common element used in x-ray technology, fireworks, rubber and glass making and rat poison. It is a soft, white metallic element and alkaline.

Mica
Name: Probably used in the mineralogical sense by 1706 and originally "smicka" and from the Latin micare - to flash or glisten in allusion to the material's appearance. Isinglass predates the use of mica as a mineral term and known from at least 1535, but isinglass also referred to the matter from the sturgeon fish that also had pearly flakes from the scales.
Mica is widely distributed and occurs in igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary regimes. Mica group represents 34 phyllosilicate minerals that exhibits a layered or platy structure. Commercially important mica minerals are muscovite (potash or white mica) and phlogopite (magnesium or amber mica). Granitic pegmatites are the source of muscovite sheet, while phlogopite is found in areas of metamorphosed sedimentary rocks into which pegmatite rich granite rocks have been intruded. It possesses highly perfect basal cleavage due to which it can easily and accurately split into very thin sheets or films of any specified thickness. It has a unique combination of elasticity, toughness, flexibility and transparency. It possesses resistance to heat and sudden change in temperature and high dielectric strength. It is chemically inert, stable and does not absorb water.
Metals.

Mineral
Minerals are naturally occurring solid substances with distinct chemical compositions and internal crystal structures. They combine to form rocks. The main types of minerals include sulfides, carbonates, silicates, oxides, clays, silica, and halides. Mineral processing involves mechanical treatment like crushing and grinding to separate valuable minerals, often using gravity or flotation separation techniques. Mining excavates materials from the Earth's crust, while flotation is the most widely used process for extracting many minerals from their ores by altering surface properties. Ore refers to minerals rich enough in economically important elements to profitably extract.

Graphite was discovered in Borrowdale, England in the 1500s. Early users wrapped graphite sticks in string to strengthen them for writing. Over time, people began putting graphite sticks in wooden casings to create the modern pencil. Minerals are found in many everyday items like pencils, sidewalks, homes, and tables. A mineral has four key properties - it must be natural, inorganic, solid, and have a definite crystalline structure and chemical composition. Minerals are categorized as silicates, which contain silicon and oxygen, or non-silicates like carbonates, oxides, and sulfides.

Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data Warehouse
Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
- Setting a table granularity;
- Types of facts;
- Types of dimensions;
- Snowflakes and how to avoid them;
- Expanding existing dimensions and facts.
