Jet

== Description ==
A dense, black, lignite coal that can be carved and polished. Jet is found in large deposits near Whitby in England and in the Asturias in northern Spain. Smaller deposits are found in France, Germany, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Italy, Portugal, Canada, and the USA. Jet was formed from driftwood from pines of the Araucaria genus that were subjected to intense pressure. The soft, brittle material flakes easily and can be worked with saws, drills and engraving tools. Jet has been used for beads, jewelry, cameos, buttons, and small decorative items since Neolithic times. Jet became popular as mourning jewelry during Victorian times. Imitation jet jewelry has been made from black glass (Paris jet), dyed chalcedony, black tourmaline, obsidian, melanite, ebonite, and vulcanite.

Juniper

== Description ==
A common name for evergreen trees in the cypress family. True juniper trees, such as Juniperus communis, have dark purple berry-like cones that are used in cooking and medicine. Juniper wood is dense, brittle, and insect resistant. It is hard, smooth with a reddish-brown color. Because its aroma is thought to deter moths, juniper veneer is used for lining closets and storage chests. It is also used for turnery, pencil wood, and for the extraction of aromatic oils. Juniper oil and juniper tar are used in medicine, perfumes, and soaps. The bark, berries, and twigs of the red juniper have been used to produce a khaki color on wool mordanted with alum and copper. Other junipers are: 
* J. excelsa (Grecian juniper): native to southern Europe and southwestern Asia. 
* J. drupacea: native to Greece, Asia Minor, Syria, Lebanon. 
* J. foetidissima: native to Greece, Asia Minor, Lebanon. 
* J. phoenicea (Phoenician juniper): widespread through the Mediterranean region. 
* J. oxycedrus (prickly juniper): native to southern Europe and Iraq. 
* J. virginiana (Eastern red cedar): native to the North America. 
* J. Chinensis (Dragon Chinese Juniper): native to Asia.
* J. occidentalis (Western Juniper): native to western US.
