It's actually so incredibly sweet seeing you talk about your rock-love. You are a consistent ray of sunshine in this place, never stop being who you are 💖✌️
Aww thank you so much!!! As a gift I will tell you about one of my rocks
This is grape agate, which both not grapes AND not agate!! Grape agate is the common name for purple botryoidal chalcedony 🥰
Most of it is found in Indonesia, but there's also been small deposits found in Utah, of all places! This piece is from Indonesia. I spent a LONG time searching for a piece that was in my price range and had the vibrant purple color I wanted, since a lot of the cheaper pieces lean very muted purple or blue-ish.
Grape agate forms when andesite lava flows into seawater, leaving air pockets in the andesite as it cools! Water seeps into those pockets over time, picking up minerals and then coalescing into botryiodal (that's the technical term for the sphere formations) chalcedony deposits, aka grape agate! The color in grape agate comes from clay mineral impurities (mostly manganese!)
A week left until she starts on her own ventures, a week until she starts trying to travel to help out who she can with her new title - doctor. People who need it but can't go anywhere.

I’m looking for anyone who is a fan of/ has read either The Kingdom series or The Knight of Arrethtrae books. Both series are by Chuck Black. I’m honestly beginning to question if anyone other than me has even read them. It’s an obscure fandom and I think I might be the only member but I’d love to talk to others who were fans of the books. So if you know what this series is and enjoyed it please give this a reblog or something.
even wehn people ofncolor do fucked up things to me im like. ohh youre emulating the behavior fo your white peers because otherwise youll be ostracized from your community where youre already subjected to constant racism nad harassment huh
I have cleared out space in the puzzle/electronic closet for these bad boys but I should probably clean them first but who knows when I will have time for that fall break next week 🫡🫡🫡
