What color is the supposedly cursed Hope Diamond?

The Hope Diamond is a deep, fancy dark grayish-blue color, weighing 45.52 carats. Its distinctive blue color is caused by trace amounts of boron within its crystal structure. Notably, it also exhibits a, sometimes considered "creepy" or "cursed," red phosphorescence when exposed to ultraviolet light.

What is the frothy foam on top of a freshly poured beer called?

The frothy foam on top of a freshly poured beer is called the head (or sometimes the collar). It is a collection of bubbles—primarily carbon dioxide (CO2cap C cap O sub 2 𝐶𝑂2) released during pouring—that rises to the surface, held together by proteins from malt. A proper head enhances aroma, protects the beer from oxidation, and provides a creamy texture.
