It’s a bummer that posts don’t transfer after changing servers, but it does give me an excuse to repost some of my favs. :)

Over the pandemic I got into taking macro photos of rock specimens. These are some shots I took of a tiny, dime-sized cabochon of Mexican Fire Agate. Nature made this! 🤩💜

I like #stone. Especially stone that feels “soft.” Can some #RockNerd explain to me why some stone, when you put your hand on it, sort of absorbs your hand energy a teeny bit but other kinds of rock just rejects touch? Is it about silica content or other minerals? Not talking about polish sheen.

A piece of flourite I collected a few weeks ago. Drove my little Honda Fit up the mountain and tore a hole in the bottom of my car. Whatever… look how cool it is under a UV light!! #rocks #rocknerd #geology
