trivalent iron and, therefore, has magnetic qualities. To determine the scientific name of a stone, you need to know the structure of the mineral as well as the shape, size, and nature of its placement within other rocks. Most likely, it is a quartz reef or a streak.
We took the rock that we found at the mountain shore to the lab. It was the first piece that we cut from the surface before the rock started revealing its magnetic qualities. The lab said that the main mineral was quartz. But the scientists are part of the system; They study by the books. They only have ten variations to choose from, and when you show them a sample, they assign it to one of the ten, even if it is something completely new. They are not ready for discoveries. My opinion is that they just filed my rock under some existing category that is similar but not the same. I met with this professor personally while I was in St. Petersburg and showed him my other stones. Obviously, he didn’t feel anything or believe, which is normal for that kind of person because he is not from the new modern age. He is from the past.
I was discussing Karelia with him, and he just echoed all the other gemmologists and geologists that I have spoken to before, saying, “The USSR scanned and explored all those territories before. All geological maps are correct and final. You won’t find anything new. This is ridiculous”.
I told him:
– Well, people are discovering something every year. There are new explorations and findings. I saw that a new mineral was found in Kamchatka. There must be so many things to discover. Look, man, I am a dreamer. I believe in miracles. I can feel it and I am convinced there is something.
– Do you know how much it will cost? Millions. If you have millions and are ready to spend them on this research, go ahead. Much better than losing it all in the casino. I appreciate your passion, but you won’t find anything.
– Well, you see, I am into it now as a dreamer. I was very involved in it ten years ago and no one really believed it. But somehow all the pieces fell into place and I got funding for the expeditions. Therefore whatever I am interested in now will
