Tones of Cobalt

Cobalt is found only in chemically combined forms. The distinctive color, cobalt blue, is a compound of Cobalt, Aluminum and Oxygen. Like many discoveries, the Chinese have the earliest know uses of cobalt. Examples have been found in Tutankhamen’s tomb about 1350 BC, in Persian glass and jewelry and even back to the…

Tones of Manganese

25-Mn-Manganese Manganese is the 25th element in the Periodic Table. Manganese (Mn) is the element before Iron (Fe). It is found in combination with many minerals and often with iron. It is a silvery grey metal and it resembles iron. I just spent time being confused between the element Magnesium (Mg-12) and Manganese (Mn-25). The…

Tones of Chromium

24-Cr-Chromium Chromium is a hard silvery metal with a blue tinge. Like some of the other metals in this group, Chromium may or may not have a biological role in humans. There is some indication that it is an essential element in the assimilation of glucose and is found in brewer’s yeast, wheat germ and…

Tones of Vanadium

23-V-Vanadium Vanadium is the 23rd element in the periodic table. It is a silvery grey transition metal and is found almost exclusively in combination with other elements. There are some contradictory statements about whether vanadium is used in the body. The Royal Society of Chemistry states that the body takes in about 0.01mg per day…

Elements of the Human Body

After my last post, Restoration Agriculture, earlier this year, I took a break from publishing the elements. Several factors were drawing my attention away from this project. I became very much interested in the idea of harmonizing the earth and began the first steps of developing a permaculture on 7 acres of land in…

Tones of Bromine

Wikipedia describes Bromine as a fuming red-brown and one of two elements that are liquid liquid at room temperature. It is toxic and corrosive and although found in the body in trace amounts was not thought to be useful in human metabolism. Its main role appears to be in the immune system, combining to…

Atomic Tones – Healing Fields

After a few months away from publishing, I am excited to return to the Web Log of my exploration of vibrations and their power to heal. This post inaugurates a new, rebuilt site where all of the work is accessible from one place. Now the periodic table with the tones and colors for those who…

Lithium Revisited

I am coming back to revisit an element that I examined very early in the process of learning about the color of the spectra from individual materials. Lithium, is predominantly green, though it has orange, red and infrared in its fingerprint. I now understand that the colors are emitted by electrons as they return to…

Tones of Potassium

Potassium is the 19th element. It is a soft silvery metal easily cut with a knife. Its density is less than water and it floats, however, it is so reactive that it spontaneously catches fire when it touches water, burning with a purple flame. It is one of the most highly reactive elements and is…
