[edit] Gemstone
I make designer jewelry and I purchased a peach, rather dense stone called 'Argonite' It is either mislabeled or is also a semi-precious gemstone - anybody know? snoocks2@charter.net —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.236.244.55 (talk) 20:09, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
- Argonite as a mineral is a mistake for aragonite. Note that this page at the Mineral Information Institute consists of nothing more than this image which Wikipedia claims to be aragonite. - RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 09:19, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Why?
I saw a fascinating telly program recently in which Michael Portillo looked at alternative methods of carrying out death sentences. His conclusion was "make the victim breathe nitrogen"! An argon/nitrogen mixture was also mentioned.
This article needs to explain the advantages of an Ar/N mixture over straight N for extinguishing fires - and for that matter extinguishing life. -- RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 22:45, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
