So next I’m going to insert another type of spheres, the Klerksdorp spheres: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klerksdorp_sphere

“Klerksdorp spheres are small objects, often spherical to disc-shaped, that have been collected by miners and rockhounds from 3-billion-year-old pyrophyllite deposits mined by Wonderstone Ltd., near Ottosdal, South Africa. They have been cited by some alternative researchers and reporters in books, popular articles, and many web pages as inexplicable out-of-place artifacts that could only have been manufactured by intelligent beings. Geologists who have studied these objects have concluded that the objects are not manufactured, but are rather the result of natural processes.”

>> Anons, I gotta admit, I really do love Wikipedia. I mean just take a good look at these few sentences: this is silly, don’t look here, nothing of interest. And this is all this old man needs to know these spheres are REAL, not FAKE artifacts. Use (((their))) bias against them anons.

“Description

The Klerksdorp spheres typically range in diameter from 0.5 to 10 cm. As illustrated by geologist Paul Heinrich, they vary widely in shape from either approximate or flattened spheres to well-defined discs and often are intergrown. Petrographic and X-ray diffraction analyses of specimens of these objects found that they consist either of hematite (Fe2O3) or wollastonite (CaSiO3) mixed with minor amounts of hematite and goethite (FeOOH). Observations by Cairncross and Nel and others indicated that many of the Klerksdorp spheres found in unaltered pyrophyllite consist of pyrite (FeS2). The color of the specimens studied by Heinrich ranged from dark reddish brown, red, to dusky red. The color of those objects composed of pyrite is not known. All of the specimens of these objects, which were cut open by Heinrich, exhibited an extremely well-defined radial structure terminating on either the center or centers of a Klerksdorp sphere. Some of these objects exhibit well-defined and parallel latitudinal grooves or ridges. Even specimens consisting of intergrown flattened spheres exhibit such grooves.”

>>This is rather interesting. Let’s take a super quick look at the characteristics of each component of these spheres, shall we?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hematite

“Hematite, also spelled as haematite, is a common iron oxide with a formula of Fe2O3 and is widespread in rocks and soils. Hematite crystals belong to the rhombohedral lattice system which is designated the alpha polymorph of Fe2O3. […].

Hematite is colored black to steel or silver-gray, brown to reddish-brown, or red. It is mined as the main ore of iron. It is electrically conductive. Varieties include kidney ore, martite (pseudomorphs after magnetite), iron rose and specularite (specular hematite). While these forms vary, they all have a rust-red streak. Hematite is harder than pure iron, but much more brittle. […].

Large deposits of hematite are found in banded iron formations. Gray hematite is typically found in places that can have still, standing water or mineral hot springs, such as those in Yellowstone National Park in North America. The mineral can precipitate out of water and collect in layers at the bottom of a lake, spring, or other standing water. Hematite can also occur in the absence of water, usually as the result of volcanic activity.

Clay-sized hematite crystals can also occur as a secondary mineral formed by weathering processes in soil, and along with other iron oxides or oxyhydroxides such as goethite, is responsible for the red color of many tropical, ancient, or otherwise highly weathered soils.”

>>At least now we know were the brown-reddish color comes from. It’s also conducts electricity, it’s harder than pure iron and in the same time is little deformed when broken. And at last, the reddishness can be linked to ancient soils.

If anons are interested, they read the rest themselves. I’ve got the information that I need.

Next is Wollastonite: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wollastonite

“Wollastonite is a calcium inosilicate mineral (CaSiO3) that may contain small amounts of iron, magnesium, and manganese substituting for calcium. It is usually white. It forms when impure limestone or dolomite is subjected to high temperature and pressure, which sometimes occurs in the presence of silica-bearing fluids as in skarns or in contact with metamorphic rocks. Associated minerals include garnets, vesuvianite, diopside, tremolite, epidote, plagioclase feldspar, pyroxene and calcite. It is named after the English chemist and mineralogist William Hyde Wollaston (1766–1828).

Some of the properties that make wollastonite so useful are its high brightness and white coloration, low moisture and oil absorption, and low volatile content. Wollastonite is used primarily in ceramics, friction products (brakes and clutches), metalmaking, paint filler, and plastics.”

>> So this one reduces cracking of ceramics and is used as a protective means for molten metal surfaces during casting of steel (written further down in the Wikipedia page). I’m skipping the unnecessary parts anons.

Let’s check the next component: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goethite

“Goethite is a mineral of the diaspore group, consisting of iron(III) oxide-hydroxide, specifically the "α" polymorph. It is found in soil and other low-temperature environments such as sediment. Goethite has been well known since ancient times for its use as a pigment (brown ochre). Evidence has been found of its use in paint pigment samples taken from the caves of Lascaux in France. It was first described in 1806 based on samples found in the Hollertszug Mine in Herdorf, Germany. The mineral was named after the German polymath and poet Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749–1832).

Composition

Goethite is an iron oxyhydroxide containing ferric iron. It is the main component of rust and bog iron ore. […]. Additionally, goethite has several high-pressure and high-temperature polymorphs, which may be relevant to the conditions of the Earth's interior.”

>> Well another component that explains the reddish coloring.

“Formation

Goethite often forms through the weathering of other iron-rich minerals, and thus is a common component of soils, concentrated in laterite soils. nanoparticulate authigenic goethite is a common diagenetic iron oxyhydroxide in both marine and lake sediments. The formation of goethite is marked by the oxidation state change of Fe2+ (ferrous) to Fe3+ (ferric), which allows for goethite to exist at surface conditions. Because of this oxidation state change, goethite is commonly seen as a pseudomorph. As iron-bearing minerals are brought to the zone of oxidation within the soil, the iron turns from iron(II) to iron(III), while the original shape of the parent mineral is retained. […] It may also be precipitated by groundwater or in other sedimentary conditions, or form as a primary mineral in hydrothermal deposits. Goethite has also been found to be produced by the excretion processes of certain bacteria types.

Distribution

[…] In 2001, John Emsley, in his book "Nature's Building blocks", reported that limpet's teeth are made of goethite (pg. 210).

In 2015 it was reported that limpet's teeth have goethite fibres in them, which accounts for their extreme tensile strength.

Usage

[…]

Fine goethite specimens are rare and therefore are valued collectibles. Banded or iridescent varieties are cut and polished into cabochons for jewelry making.

Perhaps the oldest known use of goethite comes from the ancient kingdom of Phrygia. In a royal tomb a body was found believed to be King Gordias, father of the legendary King Midas. The burial shroud had been colored with a dye containing goethite, which in its original unfaded state would have made the shroud look like it was woven from gold. Historians speculate that the legend of King Midas' golden touch might have originated from Phrygian royalty wearing clothes made from such golden-colored textiles.”

>> This is starting to get very interesting, isn’t it anons? FAKE GOLD = illusion. This type mineral with iron in it is used as pigment, mostly to paint stuff, color them – it was known as old as the Lascaux caves. But it’s also rare and it’s linked to sediments from aquatic surfaces or humid places.

And the last component these spheres were made of is Pyrite or the Fool’s Gold: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrite

“The mineral pyrite, or iron pyrite, also known as fool's gold, is an iron sulfide with the chemical formula FeS2 (iron (II) disulfide). Pyrite is the most abundant sulfide mineral.

Pyrite's metallic luster and pale brass-yellow hue give it a superficial resemblance to gold, hence the well-known nickname of fool's gold. The color has also led to the nicknames brass, brazzle, and Brazil, primarily used to refer to pyrite found in coal.

The name pyrite is derived from the Greek πυρίτης λίθος (pyritēs lithos), "stone or mineral which strikes fire", in turn from πῦρ (pyr), "fire". In ancient Roman times, this name was applied to several types of stone that would create sparks when struck against steel; Pliny the Elder described one of them as being brassy, almost certainly a reference to what we now call pyrite.”

>> Let me be the old grumpy archaeologist for a moment here anons and scream out lout = etymology, etymology ETYMOLOGY. Please, in Heaven’s name, go study etymology before anons dissect words. I’ve seen horrors, pure horrors being done to words and twisted out of their origins simply because they SOUND similar to English words in this place. It’s a nightmare for me. So please once again, I’m asking anyone reading this, before you butcher the words and create what I call fantasy land, please check out the ROOT of the world, the REAL ONE, not the one that sounds close to English. Go back to the Latin, but mostly the GREEK origin, root of the word, PLEASE. If you want to solve the Phoenician puzzle, you must tackle the Greek origin of most words. Some have Latin origins, but take a closer look to the Greek ones. Latin took a lot from Greek.

A while ago, I saw in one of the US patriot twitter account their interpretation of the word Cannibal: after some linguistic acrobatics that person ended up with Cain and Baal and thus blaming the Phoenicians for that horrible practice of eating human flesh. For that person, it’s another proof, apart for the Old Testament, that the Phoenicians are Satan worshipers. I almost had a heart attack when I read what that person was tweeting to a big number of followers.

“Etymology. Borrowed from Spanish caníbal, from Taíno caniba, the Taíno form recorded by Christopher Columbus for the Caribs, who were greatly feared. From an Arawakan language, probably Taíno.” = https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/cannibal

If that person was in an archaeology classroom, you bet they would have given that person a failing grade and kicked their butt out of the classroom until they grew some grey cells in that skull of theirs. Among the most important ever classes taught in archaeology is ETYMOLOGY. So please, please, for serious and amateur researchers check out the root = the origin of the word before using it.

“Pyrite is usually found associated with other sulfides or oxides in quartz veins, sedimentary rock, and metamorphic rock, as well as in coal beds and as a replacement mineral in fossils, but has also been identified in the sclerites of scaly-foot gastropods.

Uses

Pyrite enjoyed brief popularity in the 16th and 17th centuries as a source of ignition in early firearms, most notably the wheellock, where a sample of pyrite was placed against a circular file to strike the sparks needed to fire the gun.

Pyrite has been used since classical times to manufacture copperas (iron(II) sulfate). Iron pyrite was heaped up and allowed to weather (an example of an early form of heap leaching). The acidic runoff from the heap was then boiled with iron to produce iron sulfate. In the 15th century, new methods of such leaching began to replace the burning of sulfur as a source of sulfuric acid. By the 19th century, it had become the dominant method.

[…]

A newer commercial use for pyrite is as the cathode material in Energizer brand non-rechargeable lithium batteries.”

>> So again, it’s used to conduct electricity or related to electricity.

“[…]

Pyrite has been proposed as an abundant, non-toxic, inexpensive material in low-cost photovoltaic solar panels.[…]

Pyrite is used to make marcasite jewelry. Marcasite jewelry, made from small faceted pieces of pyrite, often set in silver, was known since ancient times and was popular in the Victorian era. […]

China represents the main importing country with an import of around 376,000 tonnes, which resulted at 45% of total global imports. […]”

>> I’m wondering if this is not used to create “fake gold jewelry”?

“Research

In July 2020 scientists reported that they have transformed the abundant diamagnetic material into a ferromagnetic one by inducing voltage, which may lead to applications in devices such as solar cells or magnetic data storage. Researchers at Trinity College Dublin, Ireland have demonstrated that FeS2 can be exfoliated into few-layers just like other two-dimensional layered materials such as graphene by a simple liquid-phase exfoliation route. This is the first study to demonstrate the production of non-layered 2D-platelets from 3D bulk FeS2. Furthermore, they have used these 2D-platelets with 20% single walled carbon-nanotube as an anode material in lithium-ion batteries, reaching a capacity of 1000 mAh/g close to the theoretical capacity of FeS2.”

>>Well anons, I’m not that smart to understand perfectly what was said in that previous paragraph, but I know now that this metal can have electromagnetic proprieties. And I did use the word electromagnetic on purpose. Right now, I’m thinking of 2 things = light bulbs and force fields or should I say force shields.

I got curious to see if there are any OTHER “known” and “natural” examples of such spheres; other than the Klerksdorp spheres, with the same composition. So I went to google images and I put in many combinations of the component names, 2 at a time. Nothing came out apart natural rock formation which looked nothing like the spheres we have. Then I added the word sphere in a second search attempt and I got various things, but only ONE and UNIQUE type of spheres = the Klerksdorp spheres. In other words these are the ONLY examples of “natural rock formation” out there in the world. If these are truly as made by nature as stated in the first paragraph of the Wikipedia (page 593), we should have found plenty of them all over the world; at least where the deposits are. But no matter how much I try to look for “other natural spherical rock formation” composed of the duo mix of the cited components from this same Wikipedia page, I could not find any natural stones similar or close enough to the Klerksdorp stones. It’s proof these artifacts are UNIQUE and the dismissal of these spheres as being natural stones or pebbles is nothing but a big fat juicy lie from (((them))).

I think the reason behind it is the AGE of the deposit in which these spheres were found in. When you find deposits for mining, at an industrial scale, it will get an evaluation and in this evaluation dates are usually presented based carbon dating and/or other methods. In this case, when the miners were digging the deposits for Wonderstone Ltd., near Ottosdal, South Africa, they didn’t know they would bump into those spheres. The deposits were given a date and the mining work started. It’s after that these spheres were discovered and their existence in a 3 billion years old deposit layer couldn’t be explained. It made no sense. So (((they))) hush hushed it by saying it’s just some natural stone formation, nothing to see here folks, let’s move on.

Wonderstone Ltd started working in South Africa since 1937, I didn’t look too deep into it, but knowing WHOM colonized South Africa and WHOM got the monopole of mining in that country, I won’t be surprised to find out that Wonderstone Ltd was owned by (((them))).

Next I’m going to say something wild: I believe there is a possibility that the dating of the deposit layer is wrong. I’ve said this before = putting a REAL date on something has been hard, almost impossible in this research of mine. What is confusing me is that I’m unable to determine if I should rewind the date or fast-forward it. I’m stuck on this point. I will be needing anons help later on if they are willing to help. For now, just keep in mind the possibility of a wrong dating for the deposit layer in which these specific spheres were found. Why am I saying this? Well anons, we’ve seen evidence in this thread of a cataclysm taking place where the Earth moved, was submerged by water and volcanoes erupted; so doesn’t this change the entire geology of the earth as well? Doesn’t this melt rocks and change deposit layers? The real question is: is this deposit 3 billion years old as stated in this Wikipedia page or is it as old as the cataclysm? Does this mean the cataclysm happened 3 billion years ago? Or did it take place a dozen of thousands years ago? Do you understand me better now anons? And mostly, do you see why I don’t try to put a date on things? I need to determine when the cataclysm occurred first. I’ve been finding some tiny clues as I’m working in front of everyone in this thread, I’ve already posted them. But till now, I don’t have enough to even make an estimation.

Now let’s get back where we left off with the Wikipedia page about the Klerksdorp spheres.

(Please read from the start)

“Geological explanation of their origin

Various professional geologists agree that the Klerksdorp spheres originated as concretions, which formed in volcanic sediments, ash, or both, after they accumulated 3.0 billion years ago. Heinrich argues that the wollastonite nodules formed by the metamorphism of carbonate concretions in the presence of silica-rich fluids generated during the metamorphism of the volcanic deposits containing them into pyrophyllite. It was also argued that the hematite nodules represent pyrite concretions oxidized by weathering of near surface pyrophyllite deposits. Below the near-surface zone of weathering, which has developed in the pyrophyllite, pyrite concretions are unaffected by weathering and, thus, have not been altered to hematite. The radial internal structure of these objects is a pseudomorph after the original crystalline structure of the original carbonate or pyrite concretion.

Both Cairncross and Heinrich argue that the grooves exhibited by these concretions are natural in origin. As proposed by Cairncross, the grooves represent fine-grained laminations within which the concretions grew. The growth of the concretions within the plane of the finer-grained laminations was inhibited because of the lesser permeability and porosity of finer-grained sediments relative to the surrounding sediments. Faint internal lamina, which corresponds to exterior groove, can be seen in cut specimens. A similar process in coarser-grained sediments created the latitudinal ridges and grooves exhibited by innumerable iron oxide concretions found within the Navajo Sandstone of southern Utah called "Moqui marbles". Latitudinal grooves are also found on carbonate concretions found in Schoharie County, New York. The latitudinal ridges and grooves of the Moqui marbles are more pronounced and irregular than seen in the Klerksdorp (Ottosdal) concretions because they formed in sand that was more permeable than the fine-grained volcanic material in which the Klerksdorp (Ottosdal) concretions grew.

Very similar concretions have been found within strata, as old as 2.7 to 2.8 billion years, comprising part of the Hamersley Group of Australia. The Australian concretions and the Klerksdorp spheres are among the oldest known examples of concretions created by microbial activity during the diagenesis of sediments.”

>> I tried to find other spheres from another part of the world, close enough of the ones we’ve got, but I didn’t find any. Not a single image provided, mostly not for spheres with these thin lines circling their diameter.

“Criticism of "out of place" claims

Various claims have been made that these objects are either "perfectly round" or perfect spheres. These claims are now known to be incorrect as directly observed by Heinrich. The specimens vary widely in shape, from noticeably flattened spheres to distinct disks. As illustrated by Heinrich, some of the Klerksdorp spheres are interlocked with each other, like a mass of soap bubbles. The observations and figure refute claims that these objects are either always spherical or isolated in their occurrence. Heinrich argues that even grooved spheres are not perfect spheres and some consist of interlocked spheres.”

>> If those spheres are that old and they were present when a cataclysm occurred, then do you think they will remain intact = in perfect form and shape? I’m surprised they didn’t completely melt and vanished from existence. The cataclysm, from earthquakes to volcanic activity = as in extreme pressure and heat could explain why some have different shapes and are kinda fused or melted one onto the other like soap bubbles.
