  1. Decided to make the time to build up lists so I can maximize my Mastodon use. So you will see me promoting some lists as I build them. If you know of anyone that would be great to add, please let me know.

    List 1: Rockhounding! This is my newest and most passionate hobby. Living on Lake Superior gives a lot of fun rocks to explore and tumble. So anyone who is into #rocks #rockhounding #lapidary or #rocktumbling (or if you know of anyone who is) just let me know so I can follow.

    PS- expect to see more rock filled posts coming from my end! Including some local #agate finds.

    Hello to friends old, new, & yet to be discovered!

    My name is Sarah, 43y/o artist, and I’m a nerd for anything that reminds me of the beauty and awesomeness of this planet. If nature & art give you geeky goosebumps, then we’ll probably get along just fine! 😊💜

    I love #art #science #geology #photography #drawing #sculpture #costumes #lapidary #rocks #rockhounding #opals #equality #humanrights #animals #cats #bugs #insects #nature #love #mentalhealth #selfcare ✨💜✨

  3. I’m getting better at this! It can be daunting because I never want to ruin a pretty stone, and sometimes things don’t work out. But then I get special ones like this and the transformation just gets me so excited to keep doing more. 🤩

  4. This opal is a real beauty that I’ve been working on. I always to try to follow the shape of the stone and see where it guides me. I love the final shape this one turned out to be. And those flash patterns are so interesting. Last pic is the “before” shot— I love a good transformation! ✨🤩✨ Happy Friday, y’all!! 💜

  5. this is an an Ethiopian Welo opal, wet specimen-grade, that I shaped and polished myself. I call this one The Strawberry 🍓! Swipe/scroll to the end to see the rough “before” pic — It’s amazing what you can discover with a dremel tool and some elbow grease!! 🤩🍓🤩🍓
