It is said that magma formed by
melting underground rocks creates
various minerals.
It hardens to become volcanic rock,
but it also becomes a gem with
a beautiful color when it meets
environments such as cracks in rocks
or groundwater.
Depending on the element,
these gems may have unique colors
such as red, blue, green, purple,
and also, different values
by the size of crystal and
processing method.
The second challenge in March is a 'Jewel’

In ancient Egypt, it is said that
minerals were first used gemstones
such as gold and turquoise that
resembled the sun.
After that, it spread to Greece and
used emeralds or rubies while
minerals of various colors were
gradually used as gemstones.
Afterwards, a French chemist,
Bernoulli, made a synthetic ruby
made by hardening crystal and they
started being used for industries.

the month in which you were born

Pearls made by shellfish,
corals processed from coral reefs,
