The Ghosts of Vezio, Italy are plaster casts made by the managers of the castle each year. Tourists volunteer to have plaster fitted to them, which are used to create these ghostly figures. They are left to the elements throughout the winter until a new season begins and the ghosts are cast anew.

The Motya Charioteer is an ancient Greek marble statue found in the ancient city of Motya in Sicily. It depicts a young male figure in a swinging contraposto pose and wearing a very long chiton, with a broad flat belt over his chest. 470–460 BCE, now housed at the Museo Giuseppe Whitaker

How to tell the difference between black obsidian and black onyx...

People often ask how to tell the difference between black obsidian and black onyx. That is a very good question and one that doesn't come with a definitive answer.

Both obsidian and onyx are black stones (can be other colors as well) which contain silicon and other impurities. The main difference between obsidian and onyx is how they are formed.

Obsidian is formed when molten lava erupts from a volcano and cools quickly upon reaching land or water.

As a result, obsidian does not have a crystalline structure. This volcanic glass is usually glossy and glassy and generally weighs less than onyx.

Onyx, on the other hand, has a crystalline structure because it grew in the ground for a very long time.

Onyx tends to have a duller finish. Another difference is that onyx can also have white, gray or black bands.

Black obsidian doesn't have bands. Obsidian is one gem that comes in an assortment of colors and styles due to its mineral content and tiny gas bubbles that got caught inside during its quick formation. Rainbow obsidian is a example of obsidian which has an intriguing rainbow design.

After all that, you may still need to have a strong magnifying glass nearby.
