A stone wall is a stone wall – some might say. Wrong – that which is produced by artist Roland Mousquès, and set in the landscape may be stone on stone constructions but at the same time they are optically entertaining works of art with a love to detail and the land.

Mousquès lives in the French mountain area of Cèvennes where drywalls have a long tradition. By definition, they are constructed without mortar or cement. Originally they were tediously constructed by pioneers of rough, cheap terrain, usually miners.

Today these stone drywalls are seeing a new lease on life and increased interest by private owners – eco-conscious land owners cherish the idea that they are all natural and offer living space for small animals and plants. ... more

Radioactivity in Granite: Its Natural

All rocks have a small amount of radioactivity in them due to the presence of minerals that contain radioactive elements uranium (U), thorium (Th) and potassium-40 (K40). Because granite typically contains more of these elements than most other rocks, it will be more radioactive than a slate or marble. All of the minerals in granite contain some radioelements; the white or pink feldspars contain K40, the black biotites and horn-blendes contain K40, U and Th, and the small inclusions of minerals such as zircon, apatite, sphene, etc. contain the most U and Th. ... more
