Hmmmmm.... I like how fluffy #okenite is - also fun fact: it turns gelatinous in HCl! (The things you learn from reading the whole #mindat page, lol. [Side note does Mindat have an @ over here?]) I think that would be fun to poke under a fume hood. (Alas I don't have any okenite or access to a fume hood.)
But I think I'm gonna go with #stibnite - kohl has been important for thousands of years, after all; plus, antimony has loads of uses both modern and ancient, iirc. (Don't ask me to name any right now lol. Migraine brain says mmm rocks.) And, stibnite *is* closely associated with arsenic - very similar symptoms if you ingest it, actually.
One wonders if using kohl was also poisoning oneself.... 🤔

So seeing as I'm, like everyone else, trying to rebuild from scratch on here after the bird disaster, I'll do a brief introduction which if you feel like boosting please do.
British, married, generally annoyed at everything these days, loves rocks a little too much, spends my day running a website about rocks, in my free time I collect rocks.
Did I mention the #rocks?
