Chemistry for Kids

"More than 200 color pictures and clear, easy-to-follow directions show junior chemists how to prepare a laboratory at home, how to buy and make apparatus, and how to set up fascinating, informative experiments. In addition, there are facts about famous chemists, their contributions in nature and industry.

Supposedly the US government had the book removed from libraries and banned for sale on the grounds that the projects were too dangerous for its intended audience. I would have to agree that you probably don't want your kids making and igniting hydrogen in the garage, but for the aspiring chemist who can adhere to the safety precautions, this remains one of the best do-it-yourself chemistry books around.

Only 126 copies of this book exist in libraries worldwide. Sometimes you can find this rare book for sale but copies can fetch upwards of $700 or higher. Get a quality digital scanned copy today for a fraction of the cost of an original copy!

"Stained Glass Trilobite Panel Window Made to order. Allow 4-8 weeks

Trilobites are a well-known fossil group of extinct marine arthropods that form the class Trilobita. The first appearance of trilobites in the fossil record is in the Early Cambrian period (526 million years ago), and they flourished throughout Paleozoic Trilobites finally disappeared in the mass extinction at the end of the Permian about 250 million years ago. The trilobites were among the most successful of all early animals, roaming the oceans for over 270 million years.
This one is made with a highly textured rippled glass of blue with purple streaks and swims across a yellow 'glue-chip" sea.

approx. 8 x 12 1/4". Copper foiled stained glass panel, black patina, and zinc frame. Ready to hang with a sturdy chain.

Please contact me for color choice and a more exact time estimate.

Original design and creation by me,
Jane Hartman

Note: stained glass may appear quite different under different light conditions. My photos were chosen to give you an idea of some of the variations."

Fossil around my neck

"Coordinating shades of black, hematite and fine silver coated copper wire make a subtle variegated frame for an orthoceras fossil in this sleek pendant.

The orthoceras has clear, dark delineations and the chambers are a dove gray with an interesting textured patterning. The wire colors were chosen to set off the shape of the fossil and chambers, as well as to add a little brightness without detracting from the striking fossil.

A faceted wine colored garnet peeps out from the top of the fossil, discreetly adding an occasional striking flash of red when the light catches it.

Orthoceras were ancient mollusks. They first emerged nearly 500 million years ago and went extinct nearly 200 million years ago, when dinosaurs were just getting started. They're older cousins of the beautiful spiral shelled ammonites. (To give a vague sense of time here-they're older to most of the dinosaurs than the dinosaurs are to us.)

It's fun how somethng so ancient can look so modern.

The pendant is just over 2 1/2" long by 3/4" at its widest. It comes on a black satin and sheer organza striped ribbon. Clasped it is just over 19" long.

It comes gift boxed, let me know if you'd like it gift wrapped as well."

Extinct Plush

"Ammonites are cephalopods that went extinct with the dinosaurs and are one of the most abundant fossils found today. Their varying shapes and sizes have been used by paleontologists as index fossils to help give reference ages to rock units or other fossils.

This hand made plush is around 5.5" tall and 2" wide. It is made with a combination of tie dye blue green black and yellow fleece and is stuffed with polyfil.

**NOTE** This plush is cute, but is intended as a display piece rather than a cuddle toy for babies or small children. For adults or mature children only please.

Please feel free to message me if you have any questions! International shipments do NOT include insurance, but US shipments do."
