Gem Minerals
Gems are the most prized and famous of all minerals. All are better, clearer, or more crystalline forms of minerals which in common occurrences are less beautiful and less spectacular. Diamonds, emeralds, rubies, and sapphires stand out as the true gems. Other stones are classified as semiprecious and ornamental stones. Scarcity and fashion are important in determining the value of a gem, but the following physical properties are prized: luster, transparency, color, and hardness.
Luster depends on how light is reflected by the mineral. The transparent gems also refract or bend light and are cut to turn the light back into the observer’s eye. Color is essential in some gems, and incidental in others. It may add or detract greatly from the gem’s value. The harder the gem, the better it resists scratching of its polished surfaces. Here are some of the best-known gems and semiprecious stones. Many other minerals and some rocks are occasionally used as gems.

Petroleum
Petroleum is the proper name for what most people call oil. It is a complex mixture of compounds of carbon and hydrogen, for which new uses are constantly being found. The commercial production of petroleum began only a century ago. Now the United States produces over two billion barrels a year and imports oil in addition to this. Nearly all internal combustion engines depend on petroleum fuels and lubricants.
Petroleum is of marine origin and probably represents the remains of microscopic plants which settled in the sand and mud of shallow bays. Deposits of oil bearing sands and shales are plentiful, but folding, faulting, or other action in the sedimentary strata was necessary to form the structures for the accumulation of the petroleum. Such accumulations are not underground lakes of oil, but are areas where the spaces between sand grains or the pores in carbonate rocks are saturated with petroleum.

Task 5. Translate from English into Russian:
Petroleum
The most valued oils have a paraffin base — that is, the heavier “chain” type chemicals are those of paraffin. Another form of petroleum has an asphalt base and is richer in “ring” type chemicals. Many wells yield a mixture of both these types, and chemically the oils contain many complex hydrocarbon compounds. On one hand, petroleum compounds grade off into natural gas. On the other, they grade into the solid bitumens and natural asphalt.
Because of its great value, petroleum has stimulated more geologic exploration and research than any other mineral or rock. Petroleum surveys extend into wilderness areas and even out to sea. Tremendous reserves which can be recovered economically have been discovered; in the United States alone these amount to some 30 billion barrels. As a by-product of petroleum research our knowledge of sedimentary rocks and of their structures has been greatly increased.

Task 5. Translate from English into Russian:
Oil Shale
Oil Shale contains solid hydrocarbons mixed with plant remains. Extensive deposits of gray, brown, or black oil shale are found in the Green River formation of Colorado and in Utah, Wyoming, and Western Canada. Oil shale has been mined and used for some time in Scotland. In the United States it cannot compete with our rich oil “pools.” Should our richer deposits become depleted, we have well over 100 billion barrels of oil locked up in oil shales. During World War II an experimental plant successfully made oil from oil shale. A ton of average oil shale, upon heating, yields about 25 gallons of petroleum, nearly 10,000 cubic feet of natural gas and ammonium compounds.
It is certain that folding and other crustal movements produced most of the traps in which oil accumulated. The oil and gas apparently migrated from a source rock through the porous sands until it was trapped against an impervious surface and slowly accumulated. Without these crustal traps petroleum may remain distributed in shales and sands, too diffuse to be produced economically at present prices. Oil shales and also oil sands contain huge reserves of solid hydrocarbons, from which oil can be made. How they will be utilized is, at the present moment, still an open question.
