In the contemporary world of chemistry, the use of words such as nanoparticle, cluster, bulk metal size, and nucleation is fairly commonplace in a diversity of research and industrial applications. The implication is the existence of a physiochemical dimension where the "solid particles" are so small that they no longer possess all or any of the properties of the signature periodic element, but distinctly different and potentially useful properties. Consequently, these minute particles require new and often unique methods of detection and structural determination. So much so that terms such as "characterize" rather than identify or analyze are used during their evaluation.However, when considering the earth sciences, basic and applied research only rarely consider the possible existence of a comparable "nanoparticle dimension" contained within the conventionally described geochemical environment. Is it that a similar naturally occurring dimension doesn't exist, or is it that we just haven't bothered to investigate?If such a dimension is reality, and I among many others believe that it is, then potentially wondrous discoveries remain for those that care to join the search. The rewards, both scientific and economic could be immense! A vast resource of natural catalysts, immature mineral deposits – both inorganic and organic, nano-particulates beneficial to plant growth as well and animal and human health, are but a few of the possibilities. Sometimes, perhaps, you just have to go for it!Alvin C. Johnson, Jr., PhD
