@famousblueben Ben @famousblueben , and Greg @GPJohnston,
I got lots of results searching Mastodon for Rockhounding, Geology, Lapidary, RockTumbling, Gemology, Crystallography, etc.No rock clubs meeting online, yet, though.
Different search results with and without intercaps, e.g., rockhounding, and RockHounding. (Why? :blobcatthinkingsmirk: :shrug:)

For colored gemstones, color intensity usually beats clarity. Rich, even color gives life to a gem; small surface marks can often be set away or polished. Choose color first, clarity second. 🎨 #gemstones #gemology

Diamond inclusions (Mineralogy 💎)
Diamond inclusions are the non-diamond materials that get encapsulated inside diamond during its formation process in the mantle. The trapped materials can be other minerals or fluids like water. Since diamonds have high strength and low reactivity with either the inclusion or the volcanic host rocks which carry the diamond to the Earth's surface, ...

One of many things I never understood about the portrayal of Superman on screen was when he crushed coal in his hand to create diamonds. Wouldn't it still take thousands of years to form diamonds from coal? It's not just a matter of strength. Also, why were they already cut when he opened his hand?
* I think the George Reeves Superman did that in one episode. Christopher Reeve may have also done that in one of the movies. I can't remember just now.

A beautiful 2.33 carat gem is on display at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History. At first glance it appears to be a large ruby- but it is actually a very rare red diamond. This diamond is known as the Winston Diamond. Only a staggering 1 in 25 million diamonds are red. This one originally was owned by the Cartier family before going to India. It was then bought by Ronald Winston and it was worn by Brooke Shields. https://www.popsci.com/science/red-diamond-smithsonian/

The black manganese oxide “plumes” in this Australian opal serve as a good example of art and science merging in gemology. Photomicrograph by Nathan Renfro, field of view 5.85 mm.

About Sleeping Beauty turquoise, from the now exhausted Sleeping Beauty mine in AZ. Beautiful blue, growing increasingly rare
-and-
The Zachery Process, used to protect turquoise from general wear and tear. The process tends to darken and/or color saturate the stone. -
Here’s a fine specimen of green agate I made into a necklace recently. Agate is a type of chalcedony and a mass of small quartz crystals. The chalcedony mineral that turns green after heat treatment becomes green agate. Many green agate stones have stripes as well, like this one. #gemology #jewelry #fashion
