Ajo is the Native-American (Tohono O'odham) word meaning blue, as in the color of copper-impregnated rocks found near the surface. Ajo also means garlic in Spanish. The histroy of Ajo is quite interesting. Today, Ajo is characterized by a very large mining pit and super giant mounds of tailings. Gary Foster

It is expressed as the ratio of the average radius of curvature of the edges or corners to the radius of curvature of the maximum inscribed sphere. The sphericity of a particle is: the ratio of the surface area of a sphere (with the same volume as the given particle) to the surface area of the particle.
