  1. How about a rock? A rock would be good. Nothing going on but waiting to hear news about how my son is doing. So, when in doubt I meditate with a rock.

    This one is fluorite from a famous US site, Cave-In-Rock, in southern Illinois. This beauty is about 8” long! Label says collected between 1900 and 1920. Collection of Eilluam B Wray, displayed at Tucson for the Red, White, and Blue theme. #Fluorite #Crystal #TucsonGemMinerals

  2. Hooray! @MineralCup is here on Mastodon!

    Starting September 1, amazing minerals will go head-to-head in an epic competition to determine which one will join #olivine #garnet #IceMineral #Magnetite #quetzalcoatlite and #fluorite as a #MineralCup champion!

    Voting takes place on the Mineral Cup website, but campaigning takes place everywhere, including here. Follow the hashtag #MinCup23 for toots about what makes minerals marvelous.

  3. Got a few new fluorescent mineral pieces for what I've dubbed the "party bowl". It's surprisingly difficult to get a good picture with the UV flashlight. (Also the flashlight tells me everywhere I need to dust. :( )
