I'll have my fluorite sprinkled with big chunks of barium sulfate, please.

I love taking the time to make Plastazote bases for specimens so they don't roll around in their trays. I find it very relaxing and it protects the specimens from damage 😊

These are cubic fluorite crystals from USA

자연적으로 생긴 이만한 정팔면체라니 볼때마다 기분이 묘해져요
자외선 등 쬐면 이렇게 보라색.

8th Ave Street Fair! 51st to 42nd. Dropped $150 on rocks, obsidian & rose quartz wands, chipped fluorite piece, and some rose quartz hearts (& an amethyst penis) pocket charms as gifts for friends. Had fantastic fried dumplings, a lobster roll, & crab fries, pictured.

Bought an assload of rough fluorite on Monday and spent a good chunk of today cutting, shaking and polishing a few bits of it. Got a lot to learn but am pretty pleased with the results nonetheless.

Fluorite is one of my favorite minerals, and I normally prefer its crystals when they are purple. But the wonderful blue shade of this specimen could make me reconsider that preference.

For you non-metric types, I believe the largest crystal is around 2 inches across.

Grabbed a few things from a local gem show today! I think my favourite is this yellow fluorite, which fluoresces a nice shade of purple

Đá Flourite -Ý nghĩa “Fluorite – Viên đá đa sắc” là gì?
đá fluorite có công thức hóa học là caf2. Danh xưng fluorite của chúng khởi sự từ tiếng la tinh fluor – dòng chảy , nguyên nhân bởi lúc pha thêm fluorit vào quặng nấu chảy sẽ làm xỉ tan ra, nhờ thế mà thuận lợi trừ diệt chúng. Khoáng vật này được các bạn thợ mỏ ở saxony thời trước là hoa quặng do chúng luôn đá quý.Xem thêm: daphongthuytunhien.com.vn/da-f

Went to the rock shop in Santa Cruz and got some more UV reactive rocks to use my new flashlight on. :) (Turns out one is poisonous so I need to get a container for it, oops.)

@jolyonralph It would be fun if we ran into you at the Convention show! You'll remember I and @vickyveritas as ones who went crazy trying to get across the finish line this year in .

So, the EnergyCup22 I made at Twitter came up with yttria-stabilized zirconia () as the winner. It is an oxygen ion conductive material that shows structure. I am especially happy with this, as I am in @MineralCup.

Let's celebrate with an image from the lab: normally is off-white, but if you add a bit of Co, which is frequently used as a sintering aid, you get a very nice violet color (single crystals obtained from TU Berlin).

Tigers can be so ROUND and curvy when you geometrically look at their faces and muscle tone with an artists eye! This was the second of the big cats as stones/minerals I did ✨
