Stellerite
Stellerite is a rare mineral discovered by and named after Georg Wilhelm Steller, a German explorer and zoologist. The mineral has the general formula Ca[Al2Si7O18]·7H2O. Like most rare minerals, there are few commercial uses for stellerite other than as part of mineral collections, although it has been studied along with other zeolites using a dehydration process, to gauge the potential use of their phases as molecular sieves, sorbents, and catalysts. This stellerite crystal measuring 5.5 cm × 4 cm × 2.5 cm (2.17 in × 1.57 in × 0.98 in) was found in Imilchil, Morocco.Photograph credit: Ivar Leidus

Baunsa Rani, which means "Bamboo Queen," is an ancient Indian art form from Odisha in which young girls walk barefoot on tightropes. They also often perform various acrobatic poses on and off the rope to the beat of drums and songs. This dance form is very dangerous and requires many years of experience.
