Geo Journal week 2

 This week we are talking about minerals and I am very excited. The mineral that I had found a few years ago was a piece of pyrite. I remember I was really excited at first  thinking that I could sell it for money but turns out that these are very common. The piece I found was really cool since it was a large cube and had a smaller cube trying to leave the structure which I thought was super cool. Pyrite is classified as a sulfide. I ended up giving it to my father because he collects little nick nacks on his desk  and I thought it would make for a cool paper weight. The picture is exactly identical to the piece I gave my father. I will update the blog when he sends me a better photo of the pyrite. 

Geo-Journal Week 1

Hello Everyone! My name is Gabe Pulsipher and I am a senior and Business major at BYUI. I am from Georgia but currently reside in Washington with my wife of almost 3 years. What I am hoping to get from this class is hopefully a wider perspective on the worlds composition of materials and understanding what forms the world we live in. I feel that this knowledge would potentially benefit future endeavors as well as provide additional insight to my personal arsenal of knowledge. 

I see geology in my everyday life in the sense that I walk outside and see the earth. I live in an area in Washington that mountains are a frequent sight and I occasionally visit my in-laws who live in the same stake as the active volcano "Mount Saint Helens". The running joke in their ward is that the missionary work is so great that even the volcano is active. I am ok with having a less active volcano in my ward, personally. My in-laws residence is a significantly far distance from the volcano but due to the layout of the property we are able to see St. Helens in the horizon. I will occasionally look around and see many igneous rocks and be surprised to the great distance it must have traveled. There was a time when my wife and I first got married we lived with my parents in Heber City Utah and did our fair share of rock hunting. We found an "egg" or a filled geode which was kinda cool. 

Here is what St. Helens looked like prior to its eruption.                    This is after.
