Seersucker

== Description ==
A lightweight, plain-weave fabric with crinkled lengthwise stripes. Seersucker fabric is usually made from cotton but is sometimes made from acetate, silk, linen, Rayon, or Nylon. The crinkled stripes can be made mechanically by tightening some warp threads and loosening others. A similar effect, plissé, can be obtained by chemical treatment. Seersucker is used for summer suits, dresses, shirts, pajamas, and children's clothing.

Selenium

== Description ==
A nonmetallic, powdery red element. Selenium was first identified by Jons Jakob Berzelius, a Swedish chemist, in 1817. Its abundance in the earth's crust is about 0.09 ppm with highest concentrations occurring in Vesuvian lavas and volcanic tuff. Selenium is usually found in the sulfide ores of heavy metals and is obtained primarily as a by-product in copper refining. It is used in photographic toning baths for silver prints and in the manufacture of red and pink glass and glazes. Selenium is also used in electronics, cameras, photocells, solar batteries, light meters, and television screens.
== Synonyms and Related Terms ==
Se; sélénium (Fr.); Selen (Deut.); selenio (It., Esp.); Selênio (Port.); Selen (Sven.)
== Risks ==
* Ingestion, inhalation and contact may cause irritation, nausea and burns. 
* Combustible, burns in air. 
* ThermoFisher: SDS
==Physical and Chemical Properties==
* Soluble in dilute alkalis and potassium cyanide solutions.
* Flame color is blue and smells of horseradish.

Seneca Red sandstone

== Description ==
A fine-grain sandstone quarried along Seneca Creek in Montgomery County, Maryland. The color of Seneca Red sandstone varied from a light reddish brown to cinnamon to a deep purplish brown. It darkens and hardens on exposure to air. From 1845-1875, it was extensively used for buildings in Washington DC, including the original Smithsonian Institution building. The quarries closed about 1890.

Sepia

== Description ==
1) The dark brown-black liquid secreted by the cuttlefish, Sepia officinalis or other Cephalopoda. The ink sacs and fluid are removed from the squid and sun-dried; then the color is extracted with alkali and precipitated with acid. Sepia was used for inks since antiquity. It was first introduced as a watercolor pigment mixed with gum arabic about 1780 by Jacob Seydelmann in Dresden. Sepia is a natural organic acid that is fairly permanent, except in strong sunlight. 
2) A dark, warm black color resembling the tone obtained from cuttlefish ink. Other pigment mixtures of burnt umber, Vandyke brown, and lampblack are also sold under the name sepia. 
3) (not common) A powder composed of ground cuttlefish bones. Sepia powder, also called sepiolite, is composed of calcium carbonate and calcium phosphate. It is used as a polishing agent.
== Synonyms and Related Terms ==
1) Warm Black; cuttlefish ink; sepiomelanin; Natural Brown 9; sépia (Fr., Port.) 
3) cuttlefish bone; cuttlebone; sepiolite;
