Does anyone else have problems with makeup not being washed off by Rare Minerals Cleanser?
I love the way it makes my skin look and feel, but if I clean my face with an alcohol pad, a good part of the makeup is still there. Plus, I can’t get it to lather or paste up the way it says. Help!…Please and thank you!
Sorry, I haven’t tried that, but what I use for removing makeup works well!
1. Baby wipes. Seriously. They are very gentle on you skin so wipe off your face with one. (I get them at Costco)
2. Try lotion on a Q-Tip. Rub off eye make up or put some on a cotton pad and get rid of face makeup.
3. Then just do whatever skin washing thing you do normally (not for removing makeup but just for washing your face).

Rare Earth and the Chronos Group
Rare Earth and the Chronos Group
The Chronos Consulting mining and resource practice is active worldwide in a variety of sectors. However, one particular area of interest to us concerns the exploitation and use of rare earths. Rare earth elements or rare earth metals are a collection of seventeen chemical elements in the periodic table, namely scandium, yttrium and the fifteen lanthanoids. Scandium and yttrium are considered rare earths since they tend to occur in the same ore deposits as the lanthanoids and exhibit similar chemical properties.
History
The term “rare earth” arises from the minerals from which they were first isolated, which were uncommon oxide-type minerals (earths) found in Gadolinite extracted from one mine in the village of Ytterby, Sweden. However, with the exception of the highly-unstable promethium, rare earth elements are found in relatively high concentrations in the earth’s crust, with cerium being the 25th most abundant element in the earth’s crust at 68 parts per million. Rare earth elements became known to the world with the discovery of the black mineral ytterbite (also known as gadolinite) by Lieutenant Carl Axel Arrhenius in the year 1787, in a quarry in the village of Ytterby, Sweden. Many of the rare earths are named for the scientists who discovered or elucidated the elemental properties, or for their geographical discovery, or for Latin or Greek references, or for mythical references.
Chronos and Rare Earth
At Chronos Consulting we understand that rare earth elements are incorporated into many modern technological devices, including superconductors, samarium-cobalt and neodymium-iron-boron high-flux rare-earth magnets, electronic polishers, refining catalysts and hybrid car components (primarily batteries and magnets). Rare earth ions are used by many of our clients as the active ions in luminescent materials used in optoelectronics applications and in optical-fiber communication systems. Yttrium iron garnet (YIG) spheres have been useful as tunable microwave resonators. Rare earth oxides are mixed with tungsten to improve its high temperature properties for welding, replacing thorium, which was mildly hazardous to work with.
Rare earths are constantly being used in the nuclear power and nuclear weapons industries for both practical and experimental utilization. Chronos Consulting has been intimately involved in major nuclear projects in the UK, USA, Ukraine, China and France. Some rare earth metals have found more down to earth applications in metallurgy, ceramics, glass making, dyes, lasers, televisions and other electrical components.
Location
Chronos is well placed to benefit from the global interest in rare earths. Until 1948, most of the world’s rare earths were sourced from placers and deposits in India and Brazil – see www.coberon.in and www.chronosconsulting.com.br Through the 1950s, South Africa took the status as the world’s rare earth source, after large rare earth bearing veins were discovered in Monazite. Please see www.chronosafrica.com for our African ventures. Today, those Indian and South African deposits still produce some rare earth concentrates, but they are dwarfed by the scale of Chinese production. China now produces over 95% of the world’s rare earth supply. Chronos China is able to assist in this area of expertise – please see www.chronos.hk for further detail.
The use of rare earth elements in modern technology has increased dramatically over the past years. Unfortunately, this new demand has strained supply, and there is growing concern that the world may soon face a shortage of the materials. In several years, worldwide demand for rare earth elements is expected to exceed supply by 40,000 tonnes annually unless major new sources are developed and Chronos research is involved in the search for alternative sources.
All of the world’s heavy rare earths (such as dysprosium) are sourced from Chinese rare earth sources such as the Bayan Obo deposit. Illegal rare earth mines are common in rural China and are often known to release toxic wastes into the general water supply. In the USA a rare earth element mine in California is set to reopen by 2012. A site at Thor Lake in Canada is also under development. Locations in Vietnam have also been considered. Great Western Minerals Group, Rare Element Resources, Avalon Rare Metals and Neo Material Technologies are among the Canadian companies exploring for resources outside China. Chronos believes it is essential to explore for, research and develop new sources of the rare earths and recruit in this area. We set up the Canadian Resources Group to help in this area.
Chinese export quotas have also resulted in a dramatic shift in the world’s rare earth knowledge base. For example, the division of General Motors which deals with miniaturized magnet research shut down its US office and moved all of its staff to China.. Also green technology depends on rare earths, elements with magnetic properties and high conductivity, which are the key to new green technologies such as wind turbines and hybrid cars. Demand for rare-earth metals is likely to increase between 10 percent and 20 percent each year, analysts say, thanks to growing demand for elements like neodymium, which is used in making hybrid electric vehicles and generators for wind turbines.
In conclusion if we are searching for rare earths in India, China, Brazil or the USA a division of Chronos Consulting is well positioned to assist. For more details please contacts us on www.chronosconsulting.com. Dr Simon Harding

Gems and Minerals (Hardcover) $56.5 A profusely illustrated and remarkably comprehensive guide to nature`s most stunning jewels.Under the right conditions, over millions of years, geological activity can form extremely striking and amazing minerals. Once they have formed, these rare giants can be destroyed by the very forces that created them. Few survive, and even fewer are discovered and collected undamaged. This book is a comprehensive illustrated guide to 260 outstanding examples of gems and minerals from the collection of the Royal Ontario Museum.When Theophrastus described 16 minerals in his textbook De lapidibus, around 300 BCE, he laid the foundation for the science of mineralogy. Advances in the 20th century, particularly the use of X-ray crystallography, now allow the crystal structure of most minerals to be described at the atomic level. The informative introduction of Gems and Minerals explains some of this science, providing definitions of many of the book`s technical terms. The book then describes each mineral, accompanied by a photograph. The mineral`s chemical and physical properties are identified, as well as how it was formed and where it can be found.Gems and Minerals contains more than 400 photographs and focuses on the beauty of the mineral kingdom. It contains many images of spectacular crystals and gems as well as magnificent manufactured objects made from gold, silver and gemstones. Historical background, the origin of the mineral`s name and interesting lesser-known facts complete this guide to a fascinating aspect of the natural world around us. |

Fifty Minerals That Changed the Course of History (Hardcover) $42.66 Praise for Fifty Animals that Changed the Course of History:It`s the sort of book that has you saying `Wow, listen to this…` and `Did you know…` to companions over and over.–The Globe and MailFifty Minerals that Changed the Course of History is a beautifully presented guide to the minerals that have had the greatest impact on human civilization. These are the materials used from the Stone Age to the First and Second Industrial Revolutions to the Nuclear Age and include metals, ores, alloys, salts, rocks, sodium, mercury, steel and uranium. The book also includes minerals used as currency, as jewelry and as lay and religious ornamentation when combined with gem minerals like diamonds, amber, coral, and jade.Entries are organized by name and considered for their influence in four categories: Industrial, Cultural, Commercial and Scientific. More than 200 elegant drawings, photographs, paintings and excerpts from literature highlight the concise text. Examples of the fifty minerals are:Diamonds: Did a necklace ordered by Louis XV precipitate the French Revolution? Sulphur: The biblical brimstone now used in organic farming. Clay: The oldest ceramic object is not a cooking pot or drinking bowl, but a statuette. Arsenic: Was Napoleon murdered while imprisoned on the island of St. Helena?Coal: The Romans invented the first central heating system. Saltpeter: China`s fourth "Great Invention" was perhaps not so great after all. Salt: Once used as currency, we give it little thought today. Jade: The Chinese fabric of "pajamas for eternity." Ubiquitous or rare, the minerals described in Fifty Minerals that Changed the Course of History have been fundamental to human progress, for good or evil. Many are familiar–the aluminum can we drink from, the car we drive, the jewelry we wear. They can be poisons, medic |
