  1. A very cool wolf spider, just quietly moving around on moss. Allowed enough time for a decent picture (with an android phone)
    Set on a typical gneiss'ish rock infused with hard white quartz crystals.

  6. It wouldn't be a holiday to Assynt without some serious rockery. Here we have the Moine Thrust exposure by Loch Glencoul and Loch Eileanach surrounded by wonderful Scourian gneiss and amphibolite dykes.

  15. I don't normally post ads on social media, but this might be of interest to anyone interested in #geology in the #Glasgow area. I am selling a free-standing island kitchen unit (cupboard/drawers) with an absolutely stunning #granite (actually #gneiss ) top 127x86cm. It's beautifully polished and lovely minerals such as garnets, pyrite & pyroxene (?) are visible. Truly a spectacular top but I will have nowhere to put it ☹️.

    Base units high quality, vgc, white

    Please let me know if interested.

  20. Gneiss Boulder

    Prints, cards and more available via the website: shiny.photo/photo/Gneiss-Bould

    There is quite a pronounced change in the underlying geology, going from the beach at St Cyrus (igneous; tuff) half a mile further round to Tangleha'. So no wonder I was surprised to see this beautiful banded gneiss sitting in a beach of otherwise red sandstone.

  26. @Anthro I found the source, Anthro! The Wilderness Suite granite: a part of the metamorphic gneiss posted by @AZGeology on Twitter: “Metamorphic #gneiss exposed just uphill from mile marker 5 along the Catalina Highway, Santa Catalina Mtns., Tucson, AZ. The parent rocks include the 1.4 billion-year-old blackish Oracle granite and the 50-million-year-old white Wilderness Suite #granite.”
    We were blocked from going up the mountain as the road was closed by ice roads.

  36. #Gneiss boulder

    I came upon this stream-polished boulder along the Quinebaug River, just below East Brimfield Reservoir near #Sturbridge, #Massachusetts. Because it has been transported and I just took a photo, I don’t know its origins…but it looks like either the Quinebaug or Marlboro formations, Ordovician and Cambrian, respectively. Laurentia, not Gondwana. Lovely banding, eh? Lens cap is about 4 cm in diameter.

  46. One day here in northeastern MN, we went out on a walk to see where the wild blueberries were, and we came upon a rock outcropping. I always pick up interesting rocks. This one is a foliated gneiss, probably over 2 1/2 billion years old. And there it was, just waiting for me to pick up. That I live where such old things are there on the surface...mindblowing
