Wrapped up #MineralMonth with a game of Splendor.

For our last #MineralMonth movie night, we watched Romancing the Stone.

The level of 80s in that movie is DANGEROUSLY high.

Volcanology is a complicated profession. #MineralMonth https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YoSmPkWmG4k

What should be our last movie night for #MineralMonth? Opening the bidding at Romancing the Stone.

Now, we wait ... for 3-4 days. #MineralMonth

And now for the #MineralMonth piece of resistance!

This is also not available, so we're 0 for 2 on #MineralMonth documentaries.

We do have at least one more up our sleeves.

Tonight's #MineralMonth dive into the @TheRock's oeuvre was Skyscraper, which is exactly what the trailer promises.

#MineralMonth bonus: the building is "The Pearl".
