Editor's Notes
Picture this. You are like watching television in black and white. It shows you different landscapes, sceneries, and objects but the colors are the same -- black and white. Dull isn't it? Just like in food, if there is no salt added, even if the presentation is beautiful, the food will still taste bland. That is how important salt is.
One may not realize it, but minerals are important in our lives. From morning until one sleep, people interact with minerals. Minerals are components of materials we use, buildings we build, and assets we keep. That is how important minerals are in our everyday life.
