Metal-coated crystals are artificial products made by coating crystals, such as quartz, with metal to give them an iridescent metallic sheen. Crystals treated this way are used as gemstones and for other decorative purposes. Possible coatings include gold, indium, titanium, niobium and copper.

We Have You Surrounded
__NOTOC__ ''We Have You Surrounded'' is the fourth album by the American rock music group The Dirtbombs. Production Recording of ''We Have You Surrounded'', began in November 2006 as a five song EP. The length of time since the band's last full-length, 2003's ''Dangerous Magical Noise'', led to the decision to finish it as an LP, once again postponing the band's long-planned bubblegum record. Recording resumed in the summer of 2007, and ''We Have You Surrounded'' was released in February 2008. Far from being a bubblegum record, the album's themes are dark, based on Alan Moore's "Leopard Man at C & A'", which is described by Collins as "a fabulous take on urban paranoia". Two cover songs were recorded for ''We Have you Surrounded''. The first being the new wave song "Sherlock Holmes", originally by the band Sparks from the album '' Angst in My Pants'' (1982). The second cover was of the song "Fire in the Western World" by the garage rock band Dead Moon. The cover illustration ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
