The term "Black Silver" refers to solid silver with a legal fineness of 925/1000 that has been oxidized to a dark gray color. Black silver will develop a patina, and the treatment will fade in places to reveal the natural shine of untreated silver.

The Gibeon meteorite , or simply Gibeon , is an iron meteorite that fell to Earth in Namibia . The meteorite disintegrated into numerous fragments before impact. Its total known mass before impact is 26 tonnes, making it one of the largest known meteorites. Fragments of the meteorite have been known for several centuries by the Namaqua , a pastoral people of southern Africa, who use them to make arrows and other tools.

Antigone, the heroine of Jean Anouilh's play, prefers to disobey the laws of men when they are unjust, rather than disobey the laws of the gods. She is then arrested, tried, and imprisoned alive. But rather than let herself die or even be executed, Antigone commits suicide. Upon learning the news, Her fiancé, Hemon, throws himself into the hole where his fiancée lies.
