Gold Price had Roller Coaster Year (2014)

It does not happen often and since 1998 the price of gold is likely to fall for 2^nd year in a row. At beginning of 2014, Gold was around $1,201 an ounce and it will be trading below that mark by the end of year. At time of publishing this article gold is trading around $1185 an ounce, which is below from where it started.

The good sign is U.S economy is strengthening and analysts are seeing this as the reason for fall in gold price. At one point in 2014 gold was near $1400 an ounce so it was not a flat year but price fluctuation happened often and we term it as Roller Coaster.

It has not been very bad year for gold when we compare it with 2013 when we saw around 28% decline in gold price. It was a sharp decline and that to first time since beginning its bull run in 2000.

Going by predictions for next year they are coming in as mixed ones, most of them saying it will stay flat or have modest gain. Predictions are even going round that gold will have dramatic fall, possibly fall even lower than $1000 an ounce. We will wait and watch and keep you all updated.

118-mn-yr-old dinosaur tracks found in African diamond mine

Researchers have found nearly 70 tracts of 118 million year old dinosaur, crocodile and large mammal in the Catoca mine in Angola. It also show a mysterious raccoon-sized animal, during a time when most were no larger than a rat. They also found 18 sauropod tracks, with a preserved skin impression.

All the tracks were found in a small sedimentary basin, formed about 118 million years ago, during the Early Cretaceous, in the crater of a kimberlite pipe, researchers said.

“These tracks are unique because they are the first vertebrate fossils ever found from the inlands of Angola,” said researcher Marco Marzola of the PaleoAngola Project. “All the other vertebrate fossils on Angola were found on the coastline.”

The Catoca Diamond Mine, the world’s fourth largest diamond mine, had stopped mining for almost eight months to preserve the findings and make the study possible.

The tracks are sent to the Universidade Nova de Lisboa and Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas, for preservation and study. Soon they will return to Angola. “Everything belongs to that nation and its heritage,” Marzola said. “This is very important to underline.”

November Birthstone

Topaz

Topaz, November's primary birthstone, has one of the most confusing histories. The name is thought to have come from an island, Topazos, in the Red Sea, where both Topaz and Citrine were found. Since the two gems were alike in color they were often mixed up.

It’s known for its alleged healing properties. Topaz is reputed to increase understanding, strengthen breathing, prevent colds, enhance creativity, bring relaxation, control angry passions, restore energy, and aid in tissue regeneration.

Citrine Gemstone

Citrine is the yellow variety of quartz, with the color ranging from a pale yellow to golden, through bright orange to a dark reddish-brown orange (called "madeira).

 

Its name was derived from the Latin word citrus, meaning “citron”. This gem combines a warm, attractive color with good wearability and a modern price- an unbeatable combination for many jewelry buyers.
