Today’s Exhibit of the Day? The Museum’s giant amethyst geode. Standing 9 ft (2.7 m) tall and weighing around 11,000 lbs (5,000 kg), it’s one of the largest specimens in our halls. How did this dazzling geode come to be? About 135 million years ago, the continental plates carrying South America and Africa began to separate. Magma poured out from fractures in Earth’s crust and large gas bubbles escaped from within the magma—becoming trapped in the rock as it solidified, forming cavities. Groundwater flowing into these spaces brought dissolved silica, which crystallized into quartz. Over millennia, most of these quartz crystals turned into rich purple amethyst. Spot this and other amazing specimens in the Museum’s Mignone Halls of Gems and Minerals!

Happy Pride Month! Ft. Stevonnie (Part 2 of 2)

I considered having Stevonnie with the intersex and non binary flags but since I only had time to draw these two pictures for pride month I *had* to get the iconic rainbow in there for one of them!

BACK ON MY INVINCIBLE MLP CROSSOVER JOY!!! I love this crossover smmmm, my soul is happy, cured even, treated of all possible ills. For Andressa's species, instead of relying on a horn for magic (which they don't have), every filly is bestowed a gem for magic! AND, because I want it, Oliver has some winks to Andressa's designs with the swirls on his legs mimicking the lines on hers, sharing a thinly tail, tiny little bumps like spikes, and the curls sorta kinda maybe like her antennae (if you squint and believe, which you should). Andressa and Oliver ilysm. Best purple pony on the planet tbh, sorrry not sorry Twilight Sparkle :/

Bonus drawing of Oliver trying to practice magic by lifting a sheet of paper, he's trying his best, ok???

#thinking if this mlp and we don't have aliens the planet they must live VERY separated and people kinda stay in their respective city/town?#which i don't know if it works but personally i am in love with pony andressa #she is more scaley than fluffy and so there's patches on oliver that's kinda rough/hard since the skin is tough and fur is thin #he swings around his tail a lot absentmindedly and often wacks mark with it just because he can #when he's young he RLLY wants to try lifting himself up with this own magic but the gems accumulate magic slow-ish?#i think oliver should get wings at like 13-14 but they're bug wings like bees or dragonflies !!! it just comes in later #lowkey almost made them changelings until i remembered that'd be SOOOO shapeshifter's deal and NOT andressa or oliver (insect-like)#ok i am done yapping #invincible au #invincible series #invincible season 2 #invincible rotating in my mind #digital art #procreate art #fanart #invincible fanart #oliver grayson #invincible andressa #digital artist #digital illustration #pony design #crossover fanart #the brainrotsreal's art tag ✧˖°:*♡

More Than 3,000 Roman Coins and Gems Discovered in Italy

During ongoing excavations at Claterna, an ancient Roman site in Italy known as the "Pompeii of the North," archaeologists unearthed 3,000 coins and 50 gems.

Archaeologists in Italy have unearthed more than 3,000 coins and 50 gems, many of which were emblazoned with the images of ancient Roman deities.

The massive finding was made during ongoing excavations at Claterna (also spelled Claternae), a Roman town located near modern-day Bologna, according to a translated statement from the Italian Ministry of Culture.

"We are facing the largest non-stratified archaeological area in Northern Italy," Lucia Borgonzoni, the Italian undersecretary of state to the Ministry of Culture, said in the statement. "Given the importance and quantity of finds brought to light so far, we can probably speak of a Pompeii of the north."

Previously, archaeologists at Claterna had found a forum, streets, a dwelling with multicolored mosaics and Roman baths. The latest excavations at this "magical place" unearthed thousands of coins, which were mainly cast of silver and bronze, according to the statement. While sifting through the currency, the researchers found one that was particularly notable: a quinarius, a rare silver coin minted in 97 B.C. by the Roman Republic. Archaeologists spotted it hidden in the remains of a corridor in a former theater.

The coin not only helped them confirm that the structure was built sometime near the end of the first century B.C. but also that Claterna was likely a "center of commerce" for ancient Romans and not simply a pilgrimage site, according to the statement.

"It was a trading center with direct contacts with Rome," Borgonzoni said.

Archaeologists also unearthed dozens of colored gems engraved with the likenesses of various deities and important structures, including the same theater.

Excavations at the site will continue, with researchers excavating only one-tenth, or around 44 acres (18 hectares), of the city so far. The ministry hopes to eventually restore the theater for future use.

"A large part of the site is still yet to be discovered," Francesca Tomba, the superintendent of Bologna, said in the statement.
