On the surface of the rock walls, the minerals manganese and iron varnish the walls. As mineral varnish becomes scratched and weathered against the rock, streaking occurs and oxidizing of the manganese turns the mineral red-to-blackish in color.

The area is rich with rocks of three major types: Igneous, Sedimentary, and Metamorphic. This suggests volcanic activity helped shape the canyon. Mineral varieties, shaping of the canyon, and nature-carved terrain tell a story of how water moved to give the mountains and mighty Colorado River starring roles in the Black Canyon.

The Black Canyon is in the northern tip of Lake Mohave. it's often referred to as Mohave and the Colorado River, interchangeably. This is because, It's a man-made lake fed by the river. In 1951, this portion of the Colorado became a lake upon the completion of the Davis Dam, that's approximately 67 miles south of Hoover Dam. It is named Lake Mohave, after the Mojave Indians. Notice the difference in spelling? That's another interesting story for later.

Quartz is one of the most abundant minerals found in Mother Earth. Quartz crystal is made of silicon dioxide, which is silicon and oxygen. Quartz crystal amplifies energy and vibrates at a certain, consistent frequency.

When Quartz grows crystals in certain areas with other minerals, Mother Earth gives us more crystals. Crystals in Blue Hissy Highness and the Shiny Stones are from the Quartz Family of crystals.

Clear Quartz is pure silicon dioxide without any other minerals or colors.

Readers can find Clear Quartz, Rose Quartz, Smoky Quartz, and Amethyst on the cover and in the pages of the book.

Clear Quartz is pure silicon dioxide without any other minerals or colors.

Rose Quartz is a pink crystal made with the quartz mineral and mineral fibers that show pink in various hues.

Smoky Quartz is a brownish crystal made when quartz mineral and small amounts of aluminum mingle.

Amethyst is a purple crystal made when quartz mineral and small amounts of iron mingle.

Colors have their own frequency, their own vibration.

Blue is about communication and using your voice, and Jewel Daisy intentionally used the color blue to share the subtle vibrational frequency for using your voice.  

On the last page of the book, if you look at the rainbow of colors in the sunset, you’ll see Jewel Daisy intentionally chose colors that align with the body’s rainbow of chakra colors: purple, dark blue, lighter blue, green, yellow, orange, and red.

Below the rainbow sunset, there are earth colors, with their subtle vibrations, that help our body’s rainbow connect to Earth’s grounding, feel-good vibes.
