Go to a liquor store.  They sell it for zippos.  You can buy a zippo on eBay for $10.

First- see if someone is selling the same one online to get a ballpark figure.\nSecond - most antique dealers will give you one.

If you really want to get the real thing, go to your library.  They probably microfilm old papers, so if your paper of choice carries betting lines, you can see what they were at any given time... :)

I'm sure you can find them at any plumbing supply store.  Isn't myth-taken-as-fact bad enough without having to throw an element of fraud into it?

Also check out the " Four Peaks Amethyst Mine", its in Arizona. It will give you additional information which you are seeking.

Cool. I hope you found some good ammonites. You may have been in the Cretaceous Western Interior Seaway, which once connected what we now call the Gulf of Mexico to what is now the Arctic Ocean. The Pierre Shale is full of clams, ammonites, and baculites. \n\nThe Western Interior Paleontological Society has some good publications:\nhttp://www.wipsppc.com/#\nHere is link to a Pierre Shale field trip of the WIPS in Colorado:\nhttp://www.paleocurrents.com/baculite_mesa/index.html\n\nHere is an awesome website put together by Dr. Ron Blakey at NAU. For your interests, the first place to start would be paleogeography of the Southwestern US, which has paleogeographic maps of each major period (that include southern Colorado):\nhttp://jan.ucc.nau.edu/rcb7/paleogeogwus.html\nThe top page of his site is at:\nhttp://jan.ucc.nau.edu/rcb7/\n\nYou might also want to buy a copy of "Roadside Geology of Colorado". This series of books is written by geologists who are familiar with the state they write about and describe the geologic features that can be found along the major highways. Here's the cite:\nChronic, H. 1980. Roadside geology of Colorado. Mountain Press Publ. Co., Missoula, Montana, 334 p.\n\nThe Colorado Geological Survey sells a map for $7 that is titled "Colorado Geologic Highway Map" that shows lots of geology information, as well as a lot of other high quality geology related publications:\nhttp://dnr.state.co.us/geostore/ProductInfo.aspx?productid=MI-38\n\nHere is the USGS page for Colorado:\nhttp://www.usgs.gov/state/state.asp?State=CO\n\n\nEnjoy.

Both are optical glass, but flint glass has a higher refractive range than crown glass.  Both are used in optics, paired together in a convex lens. Flint Glass is named such because of the "flint" particles that are found in the chalk that is used to make the glass.  As far as full spectrum prisms, flint glass is the best.  Crown Glass though, is better for resistance to chemicals and environmental damage.

With the lighter in your hand, and with the little red button closest to you, put your thumb on top of the wheel, and (as quickly as you can), firmly spin the wheel toward you so that you end up with your thumb pushing the red button.\n\nThe wheel is flint.\n\nThe red button allows the gas to come out.\n\nThe spark from the flint lights the gas.\n\nYou'll want to keep the red button pressed down for as long as you need the flame.

Seems that you want to look for the "New Almaden Mines"...One of the sites below has directions to the trail head.  I can't find anything that indicates there are any actual mine tours in the area.\n\nBTW, thanks for the question...I learned something today about the area I live in!  I can't wait for the sun to come out so that I can take the hike!

It is in a museum in Austria.  I don't know if it is the real thing, but Hitler thought it was.  He had it in his possession during WWII.  True story.

Near Winchester you can find trilobites. In westmorland Co. you can find megaladon teeth and whale bones. It's out of print but if you can find a copy of Earth treasures volume 2 The southeast quadrant it lists fossiliferous sites. Anywhere that you can find exposed limestone in Virginia is a good place to start. Check any streams or riverbanks in your area fossil sharks teeth can be found in many of them.
