Fossilized fish, found in Seefeld, Tyrolia, Austria by my family between 1990 and 1995. Isn't it beautiful!

Today I want to show you a few of my fossils. They're all from Solnhofen, Germany! (The same place where they found Archaeopteryx, the first feathered dinosaur!) We found and collected them between 1990 and 1995.

An Ammonite with dendrites (the plant/flower looking things! A dendrite is a superficial deposit of manganese oxide that has crystallized in a multi-branching tree-like pattern. Dendrites form as water rich in manganese and iron flows along tiny cracks between layers of limestone and other rock types. I love them so much, they're beautiful)

The square little tile has the body of an insect on it (unfortunately the wings weren't preserved). The orange dendrite looks like one of van Gogh's sunflowers, doesn't it?

A badly preserved fish fossil, we unfortunately put a clear coat over it back in the days, because it used to hang on our kitchen wall. The head has little quartz crystals in it.

This is my favourite! It's a little fishy. Every bone is visible, even the rays in the tail. It's also a positive and negative impression, from prying the limestone slab apart. Small, but fascinating!

"I think it's sweet," Steve says.

Robin wrinkles her nose. "Nothing about Eddie Munson is sweet. He's a sewer rat, at best. Or like twenty opossums in a trench coat."

"Opossums are cute."

"He probably has rabies."

"You say that about me all the time, so I guess that's good. We'll have rabies together."

"He gave you a rock."

"You give me rocks all the time," Steve says, rolling his eyes. He runs his thumb along the textured edge of the rock Eddie'd handed to him.

"Yeah, good rocks." Robin scoffs. "That one sucks."

#steddie #stobin #autism eddie and robin but they have different tastes in rocks #robin like smooth ones especially if they're shiny #eddie likes the ones that are shaped a certain way with texture #steve has jars FULL of their gifts #IS the rock collection/gifting thing an autism-ism??? me and my undiagnosed/undefined mental state does not know #ALSO opossums are naturally extremely resistant to rabies!! fun fact from your local opossum defender yaba

I felt like sharing my thermos of rocks most of these I collected back in 2012 off the playground but i few of them I got later usually from next to rivers or lakes. I've got other rocks that aren't in the thermos.

My grandma actually gave me the thermos for my rocks

I know that little yellow one may not seem like a rock but I assure you it is

Part 16

(Prev) (First)

Also I love drawing unmutated Donnie so much, with each update he gets more and more scrunkly

I had to physically restrain myself from drawing his nose any longer.

Also Leo is a menace, and no matter when happens, as a brother he is contractually obligated to make fun of Donnie. It’s just instinctual.

(Don’t mind me, just dropping in some lore… or well, dropping it on Donnie)

(Next)

#oooh shiny crystal #the crystal mentioned was the one from episode 1 of rottmnt #just so you know #and as an avid collector of shiny rock #I can fully support Donnie in what he nicked from Draxum #I mean like I would too #to add to my collection of shinys #I have so many #it’s delightful #I just got some grape agate #it’s gorgeous #rottmnt #unmutated Donnie au #rottmnt Donnie #rottmnt leo #rottmnt raph #rottmnt mikey #unmutated Donnie comic

I’m back from my rock show! I got some Cool Rocks!

First, the agates.

Another Turkish stick agate to join my collection! I can't get enough of this stuff. These form as pseudomorphs of selenite. A bunch of criss-crossing selenite crystals grow inside an empty pocket in the rock, and then the space around them fills in with agate. Eventually, the selenite crystals dissolve, and the hollows they leave behind are also filled with agate, preserving a record of their shapes!

Bonus! This pair has a nice green fluorescence.

Here is another Turkish agate. (Almost all of today's agates are from Turkey; Turkey produces some beautiful agate specimens.) This one has a really interesting pattern to its banding.

I actually picked this one out for its fluorescence, which is a stunning bright green.

Also from Turkey! Growing inside a super cool crust of volcanic rhyolite, this agate is called sagenite. Sagenite agate has a fibrous appearance because it is a pseudomorph of a fibrous zeolite mineral.

The last two from Turkey: a pretty red specimen with a sparkly central vug, and a weirdo with squiggles of yellow. What’s going on with that guy?

This one is from China! The red and orange agates from this locale are called "Fighting Blood" agate. I already have a Fighting Blood in my collection, but I thought this one was neat because its vug is full of amethyst!

Here are some things which are not agate!

This one is a lead mineral called plumbogummite! Specifically, these crystals are a pseudomorph of another lead mineral called pyromorphite. Over time, the lime green pyromorphite crystals were slowly replaced by the tealy plumbogummite. In a few of the broken crystals, you can still see a green pyromorphite core!

Hyalite opal! This rock has been on my bucket list, I am so excited. This form of opal is known for its water-clear, jelly-like globule formations. Though typically a colorless mineral, this specimen is tinted yellow due to iron staining. It’s also a mineral famous for its bright fluorescence… but this specimen’s glow is utterly unimpressive. :c I will be on the lookout for a more glowy specimen at future shows. Honestly, I’m just happy to finally own some at all!

This year, I also got some high-end mineral specimens! Take a look at these beauties.

Roselite! This rare, toxic mineral is full of arsenic. If I ate it I would probably die! Roselite’s deep red color comes from the cobalt in its chemical structure, and makes it highly sought after by collectors. This specimen is showing off a well defined lenticular crystal habit! Again, I cannot overstress how rare this stuff is. I spent… an inadvisable amount of money on it.

Oh, the best and most sparkly boy. This is wulfenite! I have wanted a piece in my collection for so long, and I’ve been waiting for just the right specimen to come along. It's a lead mineral, and it forms the coolest square, tabular crystals! This mineral is extremely brittle, which makes large, intact crystals of it very hard to find. But check out the huge tabular crystal on the right side of this specimen, it’s bigger than my thumbnail!!

And finally, I could not resist buying something silly.
