I swear I have been finding small Pebbles of this stuff. I thought maybe they were diamonds but they are very pearlesque looking. I am currently trying to identify these stones

How can a national museum even mention Viking Ireland after the debacle of Wood Quay??? Seriously! Shame on you.

Hi there. ...I truly enjoyed you discussion & info on Cotterite. Quartz is my favorite for it's diversity & beauty soooo at first I thought 'cool, a Quartz I haven't heard of that I can hunt for and add to my collection' but alas, not in this lifetime...lol...It reminds me of unique specimens & formations with Mica in the Matrix....or even the sheeting in Ledpidolite Mica book formations that have Quartz....the silvery sheen is gorgeous....At first I also thought it looked like a Smoky Elestial with those Prymid formations but with the luster of Mica....I think it is absolutely gorgeous....When I take my trip to the UK, I will definitely make time to swing by and visit the collection.....I love it when specimens are unique and have a mystery that inspires debate....Out here in the States we pay a small fortune for Tiffany stone from Utah....it's basically opalized Fluorite which was an over cast/waste bi-product from a Beryllium (spelling?) mine but when it's cut & polished it's soooo aesthetically appealing & gorgeous...now China trys to pass off Opalized Fluorite as Tiffany but the difference is easy to recognize...I love it when a specimen is formed in some unique way because of high altitudes or water pressure....Nature is spectacular in it's variance & diversity....Thank You Again KAT

Today these diaries "provide an intimate insight" into the gullible, provincial culture that has failed to realise the potential from the political freedom won 1916-1921
My thought on the shoe, it was too large and made smaller by re-working the back. That is why the quality of the work was different, the shoes were bought, then given to someone with smaller feet.

The fusion of saint and an earlier goddess is confusion. Any kid may have been given that name. Brigid the human was nothing but an ordinary woman, not any goddess. Sorry but time to face it. She was among the Christian saints, born in a place with faults and weakness like us all. Obviously, the truth: she's not a BIZARRE hybrid, not a very odd minestrone beyond solid reality, either she was a human or she was not... if you think anyone is wandering round now who was once a divinity, i think you need a good shake ! i also think that's extremely vain, against scientific truth, common sense and conventional theological revelation as tested by the greatest minds. If you choose to be a gnostic, then create your own stories, but don't steal this ordinary woman, who with God's merciful grace made her a saint like other saints who were subject to ordinary limits and mortality and weaknesses, etc.

The shamrock was used the explain the Holy Trinity is three persons in one God not, as the video erroneously suggests, "three gods in one." That is precisely the error St. Patrick was trying to correct.

Thanks for letting us know, do send photos of your finds to marketing(at)museum.ie, let us know where about you found them and include a ruler in the photos as this will let the curators assess relative size.

Burning is actually the only way for Roman Catholics and Eastern Orthodox Christians to respectfully dispose of holy objects other than burying them. The crosses made on Palm Sunday are often burned to make the blessed ashes for Ash Wednesday, so the burning of old Saint Bridget Crosses would not be a piece of evidence for rival parallel folk ways to Christianity in Ireland.

How did they preserve the original turnip? Can I just dry out a carved turnip and it will last this long? I want to try, does anyone know? Online it said they last 3 days
@NationalMuseumofIreland Жыл бұрын
The Turnip on display in the Museum is a model, real turnip's do dry out over time.
