I saw the post about wanted info dump requests and such-
this is only if you want to: Can you info dump about the color purple?
(doesn’t it have to do with royalty and snail mucus…?)
also, if you ever need anything, feel free to vent, talk, scream yell, do pretty much anything in my asks or my dm’s 😁
I’m here for you 🫂

I DID THAT ACTUALLY!
Why is purple better than blue?💜
I did not include the fact about TYRIAN PURPLE, which is the type of redish-purple that is made from snails!
Tyrian Purple
Tyrian purple is a pigment made from the mucus of several species of the Murex snail.
Tumblr media
It is secreted by several species of predatory sea snails in the family Muricidae, rock snails. In ancient times, extracting this dye involved tens of thousands of snails & substantial labor, & as a result, the dye was highly valued.
It took thousands of snails to produce one ounce of dye.
Once the snails were harvested from the sea, the mucus glands were removed & placed in a lead pot filled with brine. The pot was then slowly heated for about ten days until the mixture turned a reddish-purple color.
It was a long & smelly process.
With the fall of the Roman & after it the Byzantine Empire, the European understanding of purple dyeing fell away & by the 14th century the secrets of Tyrian Purple were lost. It has only been through recent experimentation that the technique was rediscovered in 2001.
Current producers extract & harvest Tyrian purple from the murex shellfish in much the same way as the ancient Phoenicians.
Here's a sketch because I couldn't find a single murex picture I enjoyed:

Dice Goblin hoard — Day 13
Another set given to me by a friend. It was off to a rocky start (the gold paint of the 1 face of the d20 remained stuck to the box!) but my partner worked their magic and they're like brand new.
I adore the nebula-like quality of the purple and they're just so sparkly!
Unfortunately, I don't know who made this set but maybe @all-the-dice-puns-are-taken can help?
