A common variarity of Silisiccatioid, found in a locker room at my job.

Silica Siccatio, known as the species Silisiccatioids and commonly referred to as "Silica Gel", is a species characterized by a rectangular or square-ish shape which is more or less flat, a thin exterior and a filling most commonly consisting of small, odorless white pearls, which can be felt through the outside membrane. These small spheres have been observed to consist of silicon dioxide (SiO2) and sometimes water or other forms of liquid. They have the remarkable ability to absorb moisture from the air around them and the outside membrane commonly consists of some form of paper, fabric or plastic which lets enough air pass through to enable this process. It is thought that the species somehow survives solely on this moisture, and have no need for a more nourishing diet.

These intriguing life forms are most commonly found in sealed boxes or other containers of food and other products, which is their natural habitat. They are a widespread species that have been discovered in different varieties all over the world. It is thought that the Sillisiccatioids have formed a symbiotic relationship with humans in which they help keep food and a wide variarity of other products from molding, spoiling and getting otherwise destroyed, by keeping the air moisture within the container low. In this way, Silisiccatioids get nourishment and protected living spaces while preventing sickness and waste of materials for the human race.

Silisiccatioids often display a variarity of patterns on their thin exterior, varying in color but having a common theme through all of them. They usually display text and in some cases, symbols, with messages such as "DO NOT EAT" and "THROW AWAY", a message which can be conveyed in many and sometimes multiple languages at once, though english is a common find. This is thought to serve as a protective strategy against humans, who might mistake them for another peice of food among the rest of the container's contents and consume them. Upon this, the internal beads of the Silisiccatioids have in fact also been shown to often have a toxic coating of cobalt chloride, a toxic element which causes nausea and vomiting upon consumption, as well as possibly further health risks. This provides an extra warning to other species against consumption. If you or a loved one has ingested a Silisiccatioid, please call the poison help line of your country.

It is not known why Silisiccatioids have evolved to only display exterior warnings comprehendable to humans, though many researchers suggest the reason to be that our species in particular lack the intelligence to refrain from such impulses.

The name Silisiccatioids, or Silica Siccatio, is originated from the name of their inside material, Silica, and the Latin word for "drying", Siccatio.

Today's rock/crystal is Amethyst.

Amethyst is the purple variety of the mineral quartz. Like other quartz, it is made up of silicon dioxide (SiO2) and has a hardness of 7. The purple color is due to traces of iron elements inside the amethyst.

‍The hardness of 7 means amethyst is moderately hard and is durable for daily use. Amethyst is considered as precious as diamond or ruby and is used in jewelry for royalty and high members of the church. Ancient civilisations believed that Amethyst would prevent intoxication.

Hibiscus: That’s cool. Are you into that stuff?

Citrine: Kind of? I think crystal healing is bullshit and an insult to people who need, like, actual medical care to survive. But I like the idea that every rock means something, and I have no issue with people who believe in that stuff as long as they're not hurting others. And I have a huge collection of amethyst geodes and clusters in my room, all from my dad, so maybe it rubbed off on me a little bit.

Hibiscus: You know, citrine and amethyst are both a macrocrystalline form of quartz. 

Citrine: What now?

Hibiscus: You know, like silicon dioxide? SiO2? I took chemistry honors last year. It just means those stones are kind of molecularly similar, cut from the same cloth and all that.

Citrine: Damn I heard you were kind of a nerd, I didn’t believe it until now. 

Hibiscus: Who says I am?? Was it Midna?

Citrine: *deflecting hard because it was definitely Midna* Sooo what’s your favorite flower? Like, if you had a kid, what would their name be?

"Molten sand glass" ain't white. If you want white glass you need to add something like antimony (semi-opaque white).

If you just melt sand and let it cool, it comes out yellow to black (depending on the impurities in the sand). Obsidian is a good example of what happens if you melt sand and let it cool, and it's often pretty transparent.

Powdered SiO2 will give you a clear and colourless crystal unless it's set funny (aka quartz). (I, personally, would say that calling "powdered silicon dioxide" sand is disingenuous at best.)

Also, clear and colourless glass absolutely predates the 15 th century. The Romans made it, using iron(3) oxide as a decolouring and clarifying agent. Some of it is in museums, and it is still colourless and (mostly) transparent.

Why Choosing the Best Ceramic Coating Can Save Your Car’s Paint

Keeping your car looking new and shiny is something every car owner dreams of. But with time, the paint on your vehicle starts to fade, scratch, or even peel off due to dust, sunlight, rain, and pollution. This is where ceramic coating comes in. In this blog, we will explain why choosing the best ceramic coating is important and how it can save your car's paint for years to come.

What Is Ceramic Coating?

A Simple Explanation

Ceramic coating is a special type of liquid that is applied to the exterior of your car. Once it is applied and cured, it forms a hard, protective layer over the car's paint. This layer acts like a shield, protecting the surface from dust, water, UV rays, bird droppings, scratches, and other harmful elements.

Not Just a Wax

Many people confuse ceramic coating with regular wax or polish. But the truth is, ceramic coating lasts much longer and provides a higher level of protection than wax. While wax may last a few weeks, ceramic coating can protect your car for years.

Benefits of Choosing the Best Ceramic Coating

1. Long-Lasting Protection

The best ceramic coating can last for up to 2 to 5 years, depending on the product and how well you maintain your car. This long-lasting protection means you don't have to worry about waxing your car every month.

2. Shiny, Glossy Finish

A good ceramic coating gives your car a beautiful, deep gloss that makes it look brand new. This shine stays for a long time and gives your vehicle a premium appearance.

3. Easy to Clean

With ceramic coating, dirt and water slide off easily from the surface. This means less effort and time needed for cleaning. A simple wash is usually enough to keep your car looking clean.

4. Protection from UV Rays and Oxidation

Sunlight can cause your car’s paint to fade over time. Ceramic coating blocks harmful UV rays, keeping the paint color fresh and vibrant. It also helps in reducing oxidation, which can make your car's paint look dull and old.

5. Scratch Resistance

While no coating can make your car completely scratch-proof, the best ceramic coating can resist minor scratches and swirl marks that happen during regular washing or accidental touches.

6. Saves Money in the Long Run

Because ceramic coating is durable and long-lasting, you spend less on frequent polishing, waxing, or paint jobs. It is an investment that pays off over time.

How to Know Which Ceramic Coating Is the Best

1. Check the Ingredients

High-quality ceramic coatings are made with advanced nanotechnology and high percentages of SiO2 (Silicon Dioxide). The more SiO2, the better the protection.

2. Read Reviews and Ratings

Look for real customer reviews and expert opinions. Trusted brands will always have plenty of positive feedback and proven results.

3. Go with a Trusted Installer

Even the best ceramic coating will not give great results if it is not applied correctly. It’s always better to get the coating done by professionals who know what they are doing.

4. Warranty and Aftercare Support

Good ceramic coatings come with warranties that cover the product for years. Also, check if the installer offers aftercare support to help you maintain the coating.

We have also seen how customers who choose quality ceramic coating at Auto Nexus end up saving money, time, and stress. They don’t need to polish or repaint their cars often and can enjoy that "new car" feel every day.

Common Myths About Ceramic Coating

Myth 1: Ceramic Coating Makes Your Car Scratch-Proof

Truth: It makes your car scratch-resistant, not scratch-proof. It can handle minor scratches but won’t protect from deep cuts or dents.

Myth 2: You Don’t Need to Wash Your Car After Coating

Truth: You still need to clean your car, but it will be much easier and faster since dirt and water don't stick as much.

Myth 3: Ceramic Coating is Too Expensive

Truth: While the upfront cost may be higher, the long-term savings on waxing, detailing, and paint correction make it a smart investment.

Tips to Maintain Ceramic Coating

Wash your car regularly using a pH-neutral shampoo.

Avoid automatic car washes with hard brushes.

Use microfiber cloths for drying.

Apply a ceramic coating booster every few months if needed.

Conclusion

Your car is not just a machine; it’s a part of your daily life and even your personality. Protecting its paint is not only about looks, but also about maintaining its value. Choosing the best ceramic coating ensures that your car stays protected, glossy, and easy to maintain.

Magnetite, an iron oxide mineral, is the element in sand that attracts a magnet. It's a naturally occurring iron ore found in many rocks and is a significant component of black sand. 

Explanation:

Magnetite and Magnets:

Magnetite is a mineral that has strong magnetic properties, meaning it is attracted to magnets. 

Black Sand:

Black sand often contains magnetite, which is why it can appear magnetic. 

Iron Oxide:

Magnetite is an iron oxide, and the iron within it is what makes it magnetic. 

Separating Magnetic Sand:

If you have a mixture of sand and iron filings, you can use a magnet to separate the magnetic sand (containing magnetite) from the non-magnetic sand. 

Common Sand Composition:

While magnetite is a component of black sand and can be attracted to magnets, sand generally consists of silica (SiO2), which is not magnetic.

So to make this work to attract the sand to prevent the sandstorm from hitting the city, you would use magnets to attract the magnetic particles, and then you would use these electrical fields to get the rest of the nonmagnetic particles.

Non-magnetic particles are not directly attracted by magnets in the same way magnetic materials like iron are. Instead, they can be attracted to or repelled by a magnetic field through phenomena like paramagnetism or diamagnetism, respectively. Additionally, electrostatic forces can also play a role in attracting certain non-magnetic particles. 

Here's a more detailed explanation:

Diamagnetism:

In diamagnetic materials, all electrons are paired, and they weakly repel magnetic fields. Examples include materials like helium, bismuth, graphite, and water. 

Paramagnetism:

In paramagnetic materials, some electrons are unpaired, leading to a weak attraction to magnetic fields. These materials are usually more attracted to stronger magnetic fields. 

Electrostatic Forces:

Electrostatic attraction or repulsion can also influence the interaction of non-magnetic particles with a magnet. For example, a charged plastic brush can be attracted to a charged magnet due to electrostatic forces. 

Magnetic Shielding:

While it's not possible to completely block a magnetic field, materials like steel can be used to redirect magnetic field lines, effectively shielding objects from the magnetic field.

In this blog, we’ll explore what graphene coating is, its benefits, pricing, and why Falcon Car Detailing Studio is your best choice for graphene coating applications.

What is Graphene Coating?

Graphene coating is an advanced liquid polymer infused with graphene, a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice. Known for being the strongest and thinnest material on Earth, graphene enhances traditional ceramic coatings by improving their chemical resistance, durability, and performance.

Unlike conventional ceramic coatings, which primarily rely on silicon dioxide (SiO2), graphene coatings incorporate graphene nanoparticles, making them more flexible, heat-resistant, and hydrophobic. This results in a highly effective shield against environmental contaminants, water spots, and oxidation.

Graphene coating provides numerous advantages over traditional car protection solutions. Below are some of the key benefits:

1. Unmatched Durability

Graphene is one of the strongest materials in existence, making graphene coatings extremely durable. When applied correctly, graphene coatings can last 5 to 7 years, significantly outlasting traditional waxes and even some ceramic coatings.

2. Superior Hydrophobic Properties

One of the standout features of graphene coating is its exceptional water-repelling ability. Water beads up and rolls off effortlessly, reducing the chances of water spots and mineral deposits forming on your vehicle’s surface. This self-cleaning effect makes maintenance easier and keeps your car looking new.

3. Resistance to Heat & UV Damage

Graphene coatings offer excellent heat dissipation, preventing excessive heat buildup on your car’s surface. This reduces the risk of paint damage from prolonged sun exposure. It also helps in reducing water-spot etching, which is common with ceramic coatings.

4. Enhanced Gloss & Deep Shine

A graphene coating enhances your vehicle’s paintwork, providing a mirror-like finish with deep, rich gloss. The result is a showroom-quality shine that lasts for years, keeping your car looking as good as new.

5. Anti-Static & Less Dust Accumulation

Unlike traditional ceramic coatings, graphene coatings have anti-static properties, which means they attract less dust and dirt. Your car remains cleaner for longer, reducing the need for frequent washes and maintenance.

6. Scratch & Chemical Resistance

Graphene coatings provide a tough, protective barrier against minor scratches, swirl marks, bird droppings, tree sap, and harsh chemicals. This keeps your car’s paint in top condition while minimizing damage from environmental contaminants.

7. Easy Maintenance & Reduced Cleaning Time

Thanks to its hydrophobic nature and anti-static properties, graphene-coated cars require less frequent washing. When you do wash your car, dirt and grime come off easily, saving you time and effort.

Graphene Coating Price: Is It Worth the Investment?

The cost of graphene coating varies depending on the size of your vehicle and the level of detailing required. On average, professional graphene coating services range from $500 to $2,000. While the initial investment may seem high, it provides long-term protection, reducing the need for frequent waxing, polishing, and repainting.

The Ultimate Guide to Ceramic Coating for Cars: Benefits, Process, and Maintenance

In the quest for the perfect shine and protection for your vehicle, ceramic coating has emerged as a revolutionary solution. This advanced method offers long-lasting protection, a glossy finish, and minimal maintenance, making it a favorite among car enthusiasts and everyday drivers alike. If you're considering ceramic coating for car, this guide will help you understand what it is, its benefits, the application process, and how to maintain it for optimal results.

What Is Ceramic Coating?

Ceramic coating is a liquid polymer applied to the exterior of a car. Once cured, it creates a chemical bond with the factory paint, forming a protective layer that repels contaminants and enhances the vehicle's appearance. Unlike wax or sealants, ceramic coating is semi-permanent, lasting several years when applied and maintained correctly.

The main component of ceramic coating is silicon dioxide (SiO2), often derived from natural sources like quartz or sand. This material provides the hard, glass-like finish that is resistant to UV rays, dirt, and minor scratches.

Key Benefits of Ceramic Coating

Enhanced Paint Protection Ceramic coating acts as a shield against environmental contaminants such as bird droppings, tree sap, acid rain, and road grime. Its hydrophobic properties make cleaning your car a breeze, as water and dirt slide off easily.

UV and Oxidation Resistance Prolonged exposure to the sun can lead to paint fading and oxidation. Ceramic coating offers UV resistance, ensuring your car’s color remains vibrant over time.

Glossy, Mirror-Like Finish The high-gloss finish provided by ceramic coating elevates your car's appearance, giving it a showroom-like shine that is hard to achieve with other products.

Longevity While wax and sealants need frequent reapplication, a professionally applied ceramic coating can last anywhere from two to five years, depending on the quality of the product and proper care.

Cost-Effective in the Long Run: Though the initial application can be expensive, ceramic coating reduces the need for regular waxing, polishing, and extensive cleaning, saving money over time.

The Ceramic Coating Application Process

Applying ceramic coating is a meticulous process that requires precision and patience. While you can opt for DIY kits, professional application ensures the best results. Here’s an overview of the steps involved:

Thorough Cleaning The car must be thoroughly washed to remove all dirt, grease, and contaminants. This step often includes clay bar treatment to eliminate embedded particles.

Paint Correction Any scratches, swirl marks, or imperfections in the paint are polished out to create a smooth surface. Ceramic coating cannot hide flaws; it only enhances them if left untreated.

Application of the Coating The ceramic coating is carefully applied in small sections using a specialized applicator. The coating is then buffed to ensure an even layer.

Curing The coating needs time to cure, which can take 24 to 48 hours. During this period, the car should be kept in a clean and dry environment.

Maintaining Ceramic Coating

To get the most out of your ceramic coating, regular maintenance is essential. Here are some tips to keep your car looking flawless:

Regular Washing Wash your car every two weeks using a pH-neutral car shampoo. Avoid harsh chemicals or automatic car washes with abrasive brushes that can damage the coating.
