Hidden Treasure - Part 3 of 3




Dear Strike,
This science lesson was custom designed
with none other than you in mind.
Listen & learn from clues inside ...
about the last treasure you still have to find! :)


It's name is derived from the ancient Greek ἀδάμας (adámas), "unbreakable, untamed" Hmm -- sounds like you at times! :)

The dispersion of white light into spectral colors, is a special feature.
Is that what I see in your BIG smile & the sparkle in your beautiful eyes?! :)

As the hardest known naturally-occurring material, "it" can be used to polish, cut, or wear away any material, including others just like it! Encourage others to do good!

They easily scratch others just like them - but doing so damages them both. So be careful! You don't want to hurt those you have the most in common with!

Some are natural semiconductors, but most are excellent electrical insulators.
Semiconductors share! Insulators protect :) Which are you better at?

The formation of natural ones requires very specific conditions -- high pressure & comparatively low temperature range
. These conditions are known to be met in two places on Earth; in a certain part of the lithospheric mantle &
at the site of a meteorite strike. All of time has led up to your being here for such a time as this!

Four characteristics, are commonly used to describe them & determine their value:
carat, cut, color, and clarity.
Strive to be the BEST you can be -- whatever you do, do it to the glory of God.

And.... some say they're a girl's best friend.

Now - ....go look up Proverbs 2:3-5 in YOUR Bible. Hurry!

"X" marks the spot!!!

HAPPY 12th Birthday!!


Her big treasure was her birthstone (diamond) ring & hopefully in the wisdom found in the verse.
