Exploring the Rich History and Cultural Significance of Pink Himalayan Salt

Salt, an essential component of human history and civilization, has been valued for millennia for its preservation and seasoning properties. Pink Himalayan salt stands out among the many different types of salt available not only for its distinct flavor and health benefits, but also for its rich history and cultural significance. This article delves into the fascinating story of Pink Himalayan salt, tracing its origins, cultural significance, and global impact.

Geological Wonder

Pink Himalayan salt, also known as "white gold" or "Himalayan crystal salt, comes from the Khewra Salt Mine in Pakistan's Himalayan foothills, near the town of Khewra. With a history dating back over 2,300 years, this mine is one of the world's oldest and largest salt mines. Its tunnels stretch for miles and reveal vast salt deposits hidden beneath the earth's surface.

The pink color of this salt is due to the minerals and trace elements it contains, which include iron, potassium, and magnesium. These minerals not only give the salt its distinct color, but they also contribute to its well-known health benefits.

Cultural Importance

Pink Himalayan salt has a long history that is deeply entwined with Himalayan cultures and traditions. It has been an important part of local cuisine and culture for centuries, serving as a symbol of purity and prosperity. Salt is regarded as a sacred element in Himalayan folklore, and its extraction is accompanied by rituals and ceremonies passed down through generations.

Salt is an essential offering in Tibetan culture during religious ceremonies and rituals. It represents the purification of impurities and the preservation of life. Pink Himalayan salt is unique in this context because it is thought to be the purest form of salt, free of environmental contaminants that can affect salt from other sources.

Global Influence

While Pink Himalayan salt has deep cultural roots in the Himalayan region, it has gained international recognition for its distinctive qualities. It has made its way into kitchens, spas, and homes all over the world, appealing not only to culinary enthusiasts but also to health-conscious people looking for natural and unprocessed alternatives to table salt.

When used in salt therapy or halotherapy, the mineral-rich composition of the salt has led to claims of a variety of health benefits, including improved electrolyte balance, better hydration, and support for respiratory health. It is important to note, however, that scientific research on these claims is ongoing, and individuals should seek personalized advice from healthcare professionals.

Conclusion

Pink Himalayan salt is more than just a seasoning; it is evidence of salt's deep cultural and historical significance in human society. Pink Himalayan salt is a remarkable substance that bridges the gap between tradition and modernity, from its geological formation in ancient mines to its role in religious ceremonies and global popularity.

Understanding the rich history and cultural significance of Pink Himalayan salt adds depth to the experience, whether you use it to elevate your culinary creations or as a centerpiece of your wellness routine. When you sprinkle this one-of-a-kind salt on your dishes or soak in its calming properties, you are taking part in a time-honored tradition that has spanned centuries and continues to enrich our lives today.

OCEAN DWARVES! I scream as I jolt upright from a power nap.

Hear me out! Dwarves are well suited for deep see diving (the dark and high pressure doesn't bother them). Dwarves are mineral experts, and the ocean does all the mineral sorting for them (that's why beaches have pretty much all the same kind of sand). They can also build settlements on deltas and pan for gold from the sediment flowing into the ocean from river systems. They can quarry out rock from seaside cliffs, construct pump systems to move air and water that can make structures float or sink or provide air underwater. They can cast massive iron diving bells to allow them to mine for resources over prolonged spans of time at incredible depths. The ocean provides salt to season meat and preserve food, a manner of food preparation that dwarves are well known to appreciate. Sea dwarf chief exports are glass, gold, salt, DOMs (deep ocean minerals, look it up it's a fun topic), and organic plastics and rubbers (from seaweed fibers).

I can't be the first person to think of this.

SIDEQUEST QUEST

Urqopacha is done, and I think I have a new favourite zone in the game! Something about mountainous terrain like this just speaks to me, and both the Pelupelu and Yok Huy are delightful.

And, if you thought Tuliyollal gave us very little by way of Fun Facts™ Urqopacha more than makes up for it.

Urqopacha Fun Facts™ both big and small:

The vibrant red colour of the Pelupelu ponchos come from crushing up a species of parasite that infest the local sabotenders.

The Pelupelu learned how to make mezcal from Xak Tural, presumably during the ill-fated expedition by the Yok Huy.

Yok Huy gravestones include carvings of the deceased's favourite things.

Chirwagur's Saltern sells its salt for such high prices because the land is otherwise quite poor after being scarred by Valigarmanda.

The Pelupelu make a unique kind of doll that is said to bring good luck.

The Yok Huy have a kind of miracle crop called the Sanctifruit, which they do not export. It is traditionally given out by great warriors, echoing their supposedly being gifted to them by the gods after a great warrior prayed for help with a famine.

The Yok Huy sprinkle saltwater on their lanterns (actually a kind of mineral called Glowstone) because it is said the rock likes water that tastes like the sea. They deduced this by finding petrified sea creatures in the mountains, and concluding that the mountaintops must have once been part of the sea floor.

Shades of Grief was once the main Yok Huy settlement, but it was razed by Valigarmanda. It also used to house a path down to Iculvo's Inn, but it was also razed by Valigarmanda.

The bloodsuckers that roam the upper regions seem to actually be sapient, since they are also shapeshifters capable of posing as people. They are speculated to actually be either voidsent or aliens, but many dismiss such claims.

The Warrior of Light is in fact quite strong even by Yok Huy standards, with the WoL being able to easily carry a stone block that even they wold struggle with.

[tastesoftamriel]

You’ve probably gone over this before but tumblr’s search engine sucks butt. So, what would each culture’s staple crops and livestock (for both meat and byproducts) be? How much would globalization come into play, like how irl potatoes are originally from South America but have become one of the most important staple foods across the world?

Staple crops and livestock vary throughout the Provinces due to climate and geography, though trade over the centuries has meant that ingredients like saltrice from Morrowind and honey from Skyrim are in constant circulation around the continent. Nonetheless, here are some uniquely local ingredients you'll find across Tamriel.

Altmer

Summerset's temperate climate makes it the ideal place to grow all sorts of exotic fruit, especially stone fruit. From peaches to lychees, nectarines to cherries, Summerset produces the largest quantities of these fruits (with the trade embargo around the Great War and Dragon Crisis making them an extremely sought-after prize). And don't forget the wine! Summerset is also famed for its gorgeous vineyards and even more gorgeous wines. However, juicy and flavourful grapes are beloved by almost anybody, making them a valuable staple crop too.

Livestock in Summerset is nothing particularly exciting. Merino sheep are farmed for their wool, which is a luxury export beloved by northern Provinces, while meat comes in the form of cattle and chickens. However, High Elves particularly love their wild-caught fish and herons, which are populous on their home island.

Argonians

Once again, fruit is a major export from Black Marsh, but the fertile (if hostile) region is home to some of Tamriel's best agricultural soil. From cocoa and coffee beans, saltrice and coconuts, to padan and banana leaves and more, you'll find all sorts of wonderful plant-based ingredients in Black Marsh. However, something that has gained in popularity following the Argonian diaspora has been palm wine, a potent alcoholic beverage.

As for livestock, you'll find bantam guar, guar lizards, various poultry, goats, and even farmed frogs and lizards to be popular. Sheep and cattle are far less popular due to the upkeep required for them to stay healthy in the swampy environment, making beef and mutton less popular and more expensive than in other Provinces.

Bosmer

The Bosmer are famed for their meat and animal byproducts, particularly from timber mammoths and sugar mammoths. Whether it's meat, pelts, or milk, these beasts are much beloved by the Wood Elves who take great care in rearing them.

Other popular exports from Valenwood include alcoholic beverages like rotmeth and jagga, as well as kopi luwak- a luxurious type of coffee made from beans found in civet cat excrement, thus making them Green Pact-friendly. And of course, Valenwood produces some of Tamriel's finest cocoa beans, mostly used for export. However, have you truly lived until you've tried salted sugar mammoth caramelised milk chocolate from Woodhearth?

Bretons

In High Rock, sheep and cattle are the most popular livestock to farm due to their versatility, with a constant demand for their meat, horns, skins, and milk. While it's nothing exciting, the animals in the region are usually grass-fed and free range, spanning acres of farmland (which can sometimes result in cultists and the like infringing upon the livelihood of livestock). Chickens, geese, turkeys, and ducks are also popular for their meat, down, and eggs, with High Rock producing some of Tamriel's best duck meat.

With regards to staple crops, wheat is a major export and features heavily in Breton cuisine, especially in bread.

Dunmer

The volcanic ash of Morrowind is key to its success in growing all manner of weird and wonderful crops. Market stalls across Vvardenfell and Blacklight bustle with sellers touting mushrooms of all kinds, saltrice, comberry, marshmerrow, hackle-lo, canis root, and much more, all of which are consumed locally as well as across Tamriel.

Regarding livestock, it should come as no surprise that the big money is in bug farming. Kwama mines produce cuttle, scuttle, scrib jelly, and kwama eggs, making them the backbone of Morrowind's mages and chefs alike. Nix-hounds and guar are raised both by town Dunmer and Ashlanders, while wild nix-ox is also popular for those who can afford it.

Imperials

Cyrodiil spans terrain from the snowy Jerall Mountains to the swamps of Blackwood. As a result, the Province is relatively self-sufficient in that it produces the bulk of its own consumption, from livestock to greens. Speaking of greens, battaglir, a type of weed, is a staple in the Imperial diet, making wild-foraged and farmed battaglir a key crop in the region. Like Summerset, Cyrodiil is also famed for itswines, and is proud of its unique grapes of every size, flavour, and colour (including ones that taste like cotton candy).

Livestock in Cyrodiil is about as generic as can be: cows, sheep, goats, poultry, and horses. While meat is a staple part of the Imperial diet, milk is also important as it is used to make the cream and cheeses so prized by the Province.

Khajiit

What don't the Khajiit grow or rear? From Southern Elsweyr's rich moon sugar and rice paddies to the North's edible cacti and tea, the Province is full of exotic and scrumptious delights that are highly prized across Tamriel. Ingredients are valuable both raw and processed, and form the backbone of the Khajiiti economy. Samar Pekoe tea, for example, is wild-harvested from caves and is beloved by tea aficionados across the continent, and fetches a hefty price for its rarity. Pellitine cacao and coffee beans are also a staple in any self-respecting chef's kitchen.

In terms of livestock, you'll find guar, poultry, beef, and goat to be popular, as well as wild game like jerboas, terror birds, antelope, and addaxes. Game meat can often be purchased from Bandaari nomads, who hunt the animals themselves. Whether fresh or dried into jerky, who doesn't want some moon sugar-cured addax jerky for the road?

Nords

Foreigners in Skyrim are often shocked by the range of produce we're capable of producing in our cold and often inhospitable lands. Fish and horker are consumed in great amounts locally, as well as being one of the Province's major exports. Goat from the Reach, cattle from Whiterun, and honey from the Rift are always in high demand.

Apples and jazbay grapes are probably the most valuable crops in Skyrim, followed by wheat and other fruits and vegetables. The former two are used in cider and wine, both of which are valued across the Provinces.

Orcs

Wrothgarian Orcs differ from Betnikh Orcs who differ from Wood Orcs and so on... so in this case, it really varies. For Wrothgarian Orsimer, echatere is the main source of meat and milk, while in Betnikh it's fish, and in Valenwood, timber mammoth. All these groups also enjoy game, from rabbit and wolf to pheasant and venison, which features heavily in regional Orcish cuisine. Wild honey from Betnikh is also another notable animal product that bears mention here.

In terms of crops, there aren't many of note aside from valuable herbs and spices. Frost mirriam, which is also loved by alchemists, and wrathberries, known for their violently bitter taste unless prepared correctly, are two of the most important plants you'll find for sale at any stronghold.

Redguards

I've said it before and I'll say it again: goat, goat, and more goat. Unless you're a coastal Redguard with access to seafood, it's likely that your main source of meat and milk will come from goats. Whether it's feta or kebabs, it's almost always goat meat, as they wander all through Hammerfell like they own the place. However, Redguards are also renowned for breeding horses, and the uh... faulty ones are generally turned into food. Spiced horse blood sausage and spreadable horse 'nduja are a staple in households across Hammerfell.

With staple crops, you'll find that corn, coconuts, palm fruit and oil, bananas, coffee, cinnamon and other spices, and cocoa are plentiful. These are all consumed in great amounts within the Province, but are also highly prized across Tamriel.

[Sediment/Sentiment] Fluxes

The Yukon River exports sixty megatons of sediment per year away into the Bering Sea, the majority of it silt and clay derived from the glaciers carving stone at its headwaters. We call this measurement, movement quantified over time, a flux.

I kissed them the night before they left the hemisphere on an exploration geology contract, a two year visa. They study ores, hard rock, mapping what has sat solid in earth for an age, waiting. Their hands were callused already from the heft of samples.

They study ores, and I study fluxes -- water, sediment, salt, ice. My hands are finicky, shaky things, carved for the precision of catching a change in the act. You cannot hold a flux, only bear witness.

I kissed them in a liminal bedroom, half-boxed, walls bared. I took off my binder and we laughed -- oh, fluxes -- at how when they return, we will be changed, both, irrevocably and unavoidably, sure as every river I've known rises each spring and reworks the geometry of its own banks.

To live is to be in flux. It is my honour and joy, queer geologist I am, to bear witness.

We kiss, forehead to forehead, eyes open. Their hand presses into mine, chipped nail polish, calluses blooming. Sixty megatons of sediment, passing through my spread fingers --

They study what stays. I study what leaves.

Excerpt from this story from Yale Environment 360:

Can metals that naturally occur in seawater be mined, and can they be mined sustainably? A company in Oakland, California, says yes. And not only is it extracting magnesium from ocean water — and from waste brine generated by industry — it is doing it in a carbon-neutral way. Magrathea Metals has produced small amounts of magnesium in pilot projects, and with financial support from the U.S. Defense Department, it is building a larger-scale facility to produce hundreds of tons of the metal over two to four years. By 2028, it says it plans to be operating a facility that will annually produce more than 10,000 tons.

Magnesium is far lighter and stronger than steel, and it’s critical to the aircraft, automobile, steel, and defense industries, which is why the government has bankrolled the venture. Right now, China produces about 85 percent of the world’s magnesium in a dirty, carbon-intensive process. Finding a way to produce magnesium domestically using renewable energy, then, is not only an economic and environmental issue, it’s a strategic one. “With a flick of a finger, China could shut down steelmaking in the U.S. by ending the export of magnesium,” said Alex Grant, Magrathea’s CEO and an expert in the field of decarbonizing the production of metals.

“China uses a lot of coal and a lot of labor,” Grant continued. “We don’t use any coal and [use] a much lower quantity of labor.” The method is low cost in part because the company can use wind and solar energy during off-peak hours, when it is cheapest. As a result, Grant estimates their metal will cost about half that of traditional producers working with ore.

Magrathea — named after a planet in the hit novel The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy — buys waste brines, often from desalination plants, and allows the water to evaporate, leaving behind magnesium chloride salts. Next, it passes an electrical current through the salts to separate them from the molten magnesium, which is then cast into ingots or machine components.

While humans have long coaxed minerals and chemicals from seawater — sea salt has been extracted from ocean water for millennia — researchers around the world are now broadening their scope as the demand for lithium, cobalt, and other metals used in battery technology has ramped up. Companies are scrambling to find new deposits in unlikely places, both to avoid orebody mining and to reduce pollution. The next frontier for critical minerals and chemicals appears to be salty water, or brine.

Brines come from a number of sources: much new research focuses on the potential for extracting metals from briny wastes generated by industry, including coal-fired power plants that discharge waste into tailings ponds; wastewater pumped out of oil and gas wells — called produced water; wastewater from hard-rock mining; and desalination plants.

Large-scale brine mining could have negative environmental impacts — some waste will need to be disposed of, for example. But because no large-scale operations currently exist, potential impacts are unknown. Still, the process is expected to have numerous positive effects, chief among them that it will produce valuable metals without the massive land disturbance and creation of acid-mine drainage and other pollution associated with hard-rock mining.

According to the Brine Miners, a research center at Oregon State University, there are roughly 18,000 desalination plants, globally, taking in 23 trillion gallons of ocean water a year and either forcing it through semipermeable membranes — in a process called reverse osmosis — or using other methods to separate water molecules from impurities. Every day, the plants produce more than 37 billion gallons of brine — enough to fill 50,000 Olympic-size swimming pools. That solution contains large amounts of copper, zinc, magnesium, and other valuable metals.

What is the economic model and bases of each great kingdom? Where do they fall on the free market to planned/command economy scale? What are each of their chief exports and imports?

I'll be honest, I don't know enough about economics to get too deep into this stuff. But I can tell you a little about each kingdom's biggest industries.

Folkvar: Exports lumber, ships, and fish. Folkvar's shipmaking industry is second to none; they build solid water crafts and sell them to buyers all over the globe. Most of the world's everfloe crystals come from Folkvar, which are essential for refrigeration and air conditioning.

Matuzu: Exports a little of everything because Matuzu owns a huge, megadiverse chunk of land with lots of resources. Most of the world's spices come from Matuzu. Its most famous exports are palm wine, culture, and schooling. The World Athenaeum generates a lot of money for the kingdom.

Lamai: Exports lumber, sugar, and pharmaceuticals (and lots of illegal drugs too...) Lamai is quite independent resource-wise and doesn't need to import much. It has abundant jungles above its vast underground labyrinths. These labyrinths are where most of its people live and they are expanding all the time. The excess dirt and rocks have to go somewhere, so its biggest exports are actually soil and minerals.

Yerim-Mor: Known for exporting a lot of dreamleaf, coconuts, and dates, all of which grow well in its territories. It also one of the last places on Gaia that still exports crude oil, which it sells to Zareen and Damijana. But its economy relies on its dirty factories the most, which produce goods for kingdoms bound by the Nymph Pact. Nymph Pact kingdoms outsource production to Yerim-Mor to keep their own native nymphs from revolting. Yerim-Mor suffers nymph revolts, but the Divine of Hate helps protect the kingdom from these nymphs in exchange for blood sacrifices. It's complicated. This kingdom is a mess...

Zareen: Exports factory goods similar to Yerim-Mor, but is also the world's top exporter of entertainment media (books, music, films, etc.) This is the only place where advanced technology like bucketheels and motor vehicles are manufactured, which they used to sell to the Burmek Commonwealth. Since Burmek collapsed, they can only sell their great technologies domestically. Zareen is unable to produce its own food, so they rely almost completely on food imports to feed their populace--mainly from Evangeline. Zareen once had a robust petrol industry but today it is dwindling as their oil wells run dry. Their media/entertainment industry has replaced oil as their main source of income.

Evangeline: Its main export is food, but slaves/trafficking victims make a big chunk of dark revenue thanks to Kelvingyard's illegal foreign dealings. Evangeline exports its meat and produce all over the world. It's only able to do this because of its slave labor, which keeps food costs low for foreign buyers. Also exports a lot of fertilizer and leather thanks to its huge livestock populations.

Mogdir: This kingdom has many prestigious arcane schools that make a lot of revenue. Its main exports are magical goods and services, such as potions, enchanted objects, and magical procedures. It also exports unique foods and ingredients like pitter cheese.

Etios: Exports food, lumber, and minerals--particularly salt. Etios is bound by the Nymph Pact and doesn't allow refineries in its borders, but it does export raw materials like wood and iron to be refined elsewhere. Etios also happens to be the biggest exporter of minotaur milk in the world. This milk is very nutritious and well-tolerated by all species, so it's used in care settings like hospitals, nursing homes, and orphanages worldwide. It's also marketed as a health-boosting supplement in some regions.

Seelie: Exports many unique specialty goods you can't get anywhere else. Goods like sheener wings (metallic beetle shells used for crafting), glimbee honey (used in cuisine), unique crystals (used by mages), and so on. Seelie has a surprisingly big fishing industry too, mainly harvesting corals and mollusks.

Unseelie: Its main exports are controversial items that usually end up on foreign black markets. We're talking about the bones and blood of peoples, shrunken heads, illicit potions, hardcore drugs, brutal enchanted weapons, and questionable porn. There aren't many laws in the Seelie Court, so these things are produced quickly and exported freely. The hard part is getting them into other kingdoms, but criminal gangs have made an entire business out of that...It's more "legitimate" exports are pot ash, crude oil, and minerals.

Damijana: Its the world's biggest exporter of pyre crystals, thanks to its prison mines on Slegelse Island. But actually its largest export is bureaucracy. Damijana boasts uniquely high literacy rates compared to other kingdoms, meaning most of its population can read and write quite well. Because of this, other kingdoms outsource a lot of their paperwork like drafting, editing, legal documentation, and so on to Damijana offices. Damijana boasts the most efficient offices in the world, able to crank out everything from written documents to animated films very quickly. Even Zareen Empire outsources a lot of their paper-pushing to Damijana because it can get done faster, cheaper, and more reliably here.

Alliance: Whatever it exports is done so under the table, because the World Athenaeum has deemed the Aquarian Alliance a "terrorist group" and condemns any kingdom who openly trades with them. But the Alliance has many valuable goods to sell, such as slaves, potions, food, and rare minerals, and it can do so cheaply to whoever is willing to defy the Athenaeum. Aside from black market dealings, the Alliance makes most of its money through raiding and foreign extortion. They're like the big kid who shakes everyone down for their lunch money and somehow turned that into a career.

Tri Calcium Phosphate Prices | Pricing | Trend | News | Database | Chart | Forecast

Tri-calcium phosphate (TCP) is a calcium salt of phosphoric acid, commonly used in various industries including food, pharmaceuticals, and agriculture. As a vital ingredient in calcium supplements, fertilizers, and food fortification, TCP is in high demand across global markets. The pricing of tri-calcium phosphate is influenced by a combination of factors such as production costs, supply chain dynamics, regulatory policies, and global market conditions. Understanding these factors provides insight into why prices fluctuate and what market participants can expect moving forward.

In recent years, the price of tri-calcium phosphate has seen both gradual and more pronounced shifts due to a number of factors. One key driver is the cost of raw materials, specifically phosphoric acid and lime, which are used in the production of TCP. The availability and price of these raw materials depend on mining activities and the production levels of associated industries. For example, any disruptions in phosphate rock mining can lead to a reduction in the supply of phosphoric acid, thereby raising the cost of tri-calcium phosphate. Similarly, energy costs play a significant role in determining production expenses. Manufacturing TCP is energy-intensive, so fluctuations in the prices of electricity and fuel can have a direct impact on production costs and, consequently, TCP prices.

Another important aspect affecting TCP prices is the regulatory environment. Different countries impose various standards and safety regulations, especially in industries like food and pharmaceuticals, where TCP is widely used. Compliance with these regulations often requires producers to implement additional quality control measures, which can increase the overall cost of production. Moreover, tariffs and trade policies between major producers and consumers also impact international TCP prices. Countries that import significant quantities of tri-calcium phosphate are affected by trade agreements and export restrictions, further contributing to price volatility in the market.

The global demand for tri-calcium phosphate is growing, especially in sectors such as agriculture and food production. In agriculture, TCP is a key component in fertilizers, as it helps provide essential nutrients for plant growth. The increasing global population and the need to improve agricultural yield have driven up the demand for phosphate-based fertilizers. This surge in demand can exert upward pressure on TCP prices, particularly when supply cannot keep pace with the rising needs of the agricultural sector. In the food industry, TCP is commonly used as an anti-caking agent, acidity regulator, and calcium fortifier, particularly in dairy and baking products. The heightened demand for fortified foods, driven by health-conscious consumers, has further boosted the need for tri-calcium phosphate, contributing to its price increases in recent years.

Supply chain dynamics are another critical factor influencing TCP prices. Disruptions in the global supply chain, such as those caused by geopolitical tensions, natural disasters, or pandemics, can result in a temporary shortage of TCP. For example, the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted supply chains across various industries, including the production and distribution of TCP. Manufacturing facilities were forced to shut down or operate at reduced capacity, leading to lower output and higher prices. Furthermore, transportation costs, which include the expenses associated with shipping raw materials and finished products, are subject to changes in fuel prices and logistical challenges. An increase in shipping costs can drive up the price of TCP, especially for international markets that rely on imports.

On the supply side, leading manufacturers of tri-calcium phosphate are continually investing in technology to improve the efficiency of production. Technological advancements such as automation and improved refining techniques can help lower production costs over time, potentially reducing prices for consumers. However, the upfront costs of implementing such technologies can temporarily lead to higher production expenses, which may be reflected in short-term price increases. Additionally, environmental concerns and regulations regarding phosphate mining and waste disposal are becoming more stringent. Compliance with environmental standards can increase production costs, as manufacturers may need to invest in cleaner technologies or pay for emissions control measures, further influencing TCP prices.

The geographic concentration of TCP production also plays a role in its pricing. Certain regions of the world, such as China and North America, are significant producers of phosphate and related products. Changes in production levels in these regions can have a considerable impact on global prices. For example, if a major producer in China reduces its output due to environmental regulations or economic slowdowns, the global supply of tri-calcium phosphate may decrease, causing prices to rise. Conversely, an increase in production capacity in a key region could lead to a surplus of supply, putting downward pressure on prices. The balance between supply and demand in major markets is, therefore, a critical determinant of TCP pricing trends.

Looking ahead, it is expected that the price of tri-calcium phosphate will continue to be influenced by these complex and interconnected factors. As global demand for food fortification, pharmaceuticals, and agricultural inputs increases, producers will need to navigate challenges such as regulatory compliance, environmental concerns, and supply chain disruptions. However, the adoption of more efficient production technologies and a greater focus on sustainable practices could help mitigate some of the upward pressures on TCP prices. Nevertheless, market participants should be prepared for continued price volatility, particularly as external factors such as trade policies, geopolitical events, and environmental regulations evolve.

In summary, the price of tri-calcium phosphate is shaped by a variety of elements including raw material costs, regulatory frameworks, supply and demand dynamics, and global market conditions. As the demand for this versatile compound continues to grow, particularly in industries like agriculture and food production, the market will need to adapt to challenges related to production efficiency and environmental sustainability. While technological advancements may offer some relief in terms of cost reduction, other factors such as supply chain disruptions and geopolitical tensions could contribute to ongoing price fluctuations.

#1077 What is fool’s gold?

What is fool’s gold? It is most commonly pyrite, which has a similar appearance to gold. The expression “fool’s gold” came into existence in the 1820s. The knowledge that there were other metals that looked like gold has probably been around for centuries, but it was only in the 1820s that gold rushes became a thing. Gold prospectors would come looking for gold and they would find pyrite, which looks like gold, and think they had found gold. After a while, it became known as “fool’s gold” because only a fool would think that it was gold. Gold has been mined for thousands of years, but the concept of a gold rush is fairly recent. The very first gold rush was in 1799 in America, but gold rushes didn’t really become a common thing until the 19th century. That is because communications and transportation had to evolve to a point where people could hear about a gold find and travel to it in a reasonable amount of time. Before the telegraph, the railway, and steamships, by the time people heard about a gold find, the gold would probably all have gone, and even if it hadn’t, they couldn’t get there in time. There is a story that Fool’s Gold was named after Queen Elizabeth I of England, but I can’t find any actual proof of it. A British explorer called Martin Frobisher and his acquaintance Michael Lok sailed to North America. They wanted to found a settlement and mine for gold, but they couldn’t find any real gold. They believed it was there, they just needed money. They found fool’s gold, a form of pyrite, and took it back to Queen Elizabeth in England. She was convinced they had found gold and funded their voyages. I cannot find if this is true and most dictionaries list the 1820s as the first use of the expression. There are three minerals that are called fool’s gold. They are pyrite, chalcopyrite, and weathered mica. The most commonly found of these three is pyrite, so let’s concentrate on that. Pyrite is iron sulfide. It is formed at the bottom of the oceans and therefore found in sedimentary rock. Iron comes out of rocks when they are weathered and forms iron salts. These are dissolved in water and flow into the sea where they settle at the bottom. The deposits are covered by organic matter and the bacteria that feed off the decaying matter create sulphide, which joins to the iron and forms crystals of iron sulphide. When the oceans dry up, or the sea beds are raised up by the tectonic plates, the sedimentary rock and the pyrite are brought to the surface. Pyrite is a Greek name and it comes from pyrites lithos, which means “the stone that strikes fire”. When it is struck, it produces sparks and was used as a fire lighter by ancient people. In more recent times, it was used in early firearms, before a better substitute was found. Pyrite is a very hard mineral and has a wide range of uses. It is a semiconductor and has been used in lithium batteries. It is used to produce sulphur dioxide for the paper industry. It has been used as solar panels, and it has been used to make cheap jewelry, amongst other things. We are looking at it because of its resemblance to gold. If it is sunny, pyrite can reflect the sunlight and look vaguely golden and sparkly, just like real gold. Pyrite is very common, far more common than gold, and someone who came across some pyrite might believe they had found a huge amount of gold. However, despite its initial resemblance to gold, pyrite has a lot of differences to gold. Here are some of the differences. Gold is very durable, but pyrite is very brittle. Pyrite turns green when oxidized, gold doesn’t change color. When you poke pyrite with a knife, it will flake or crumble. When you poke gold with a knife, it will indent because it is soft. Pyrite may not be real gold, but it is certainly not worthless. Because of its many and varied uses, there is a big market in pyrite mining. China is the biggest exporter of pyrite at the moment. In September 2024, 1 kg of pyrite is roughly $95. For comparison, 1 kg of gold would be $83,228. And this is what I learned today.

What if it's like with Dwarfs and bland dishes (the "do humans eat salt? No, that's a rock, you moron, humans don't eat rocks" thing), so elves, knowing they have higher alcohol tolerance than most other races, are also aware of that, so they water down all their export/for guests alcohols?

Any setting where the elves have weaker booze than the dwarves isn't committing to the bit

Selheim's sole

Someone is importing Selheim's sole (Brachirus selheimi) into Europe, which is interesting. Because this is a true or pleuronectiform flatfish, indigenous to riverine environments in the tropical North of Australia, and its categorised as a freshwater to estuarine fish. In freshwaters, B. selheimi is reportedly found on shallow, sandy bottoms, and in deeper rock pools.

As a soleid or true sole, B. selheimi is, of course, an ambush predator, consuming small fishes and arthropods. Yet, growing itself to only 25 cms or 6 ins, most intended tankmates should escape predation. Obviously, very small fish or shrimp will not be suitable companions. Not counting predatory habits, pleuronectiforms are passive and peaceful aquarium fishes, so other bottom dwellers in the aquarium, should not be too hectic in their movement.

This species is being traded simply as the 'freshwater sole', which is apt to create confusion, because a number of flatfish species, including mislabelled brackish flatfishes, are sold by this label. The correct common name, is Selheim's sole. Confusingly the species, or a lookalike, is being traded also as the 'Papuan sole'. Given that the tropics of northern Australia and adjacent, southern New Guinea, share many species or species complexes, it would not be surprising if New Guinea exports do represent B. selheimi or extremely similar fish.

Allen et al. (2003) regard Selheim's sole as entirely freshwater, so there's no need to add salt. If one does, it should be at a low salinity, as for guppies rather than for scats and monos. Temperture, pH and hardness values, as for rainbowfishes from the same rivers, should do this species just as fine.

The Pit

The Pit is, well, a pit. But not just any pit– it's in the middle of the Cerulean Ocean and surrounded by tall mountains that keep the seawater out. The Pit used to be filled with saltwater, but the gods made it all evaporate by accident while mucking about, and now it's a desert.

Because mortals are stubborn and magic is a thing, there's a city in the Pit called Halite, named for the copious amount of salt it exports. (Halite is the scientific name for rock salt.) The culture of Halite shall be elaborated on (read: figured out) later.
