Hi guys, today we are going to talk about pibid.

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:07,000
Pibid is also known as Polish gold.

3
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:12,000
It's a very pretty mineral and usually found in interesting crystals.

4
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:18,000
The word pibid comes from Greek words, pibids and pithos,

5
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:24,000
which mean a stone which strikes fire.

6
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:31,000
They discovered that when you heat pibid with iron, it would spark.

7
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:35,000
This is why it was used to start fire.

8
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:42,000
Pibid was produced by Native Americans.

9
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:47,000
In early times it was used as a mineral.

10
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:52,000
At the University of Waterloo Earth Science Museum,

11
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:58,000
we have a display dedicated to different crystals of pibid.

12
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:03,000
Used in jewelry and it sparks when you heat it with steel.

13
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:08,000
It can be used in early roofs.

14
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,000
That's all, thanks for your attention.
