  1. Today’s #sciArtSeptember prompt is the colour coral, so I am sharing a mineral with all sorts of warm pinks. This is a hand-printed lino block print of the mineral rhodochrosite, in pale gold, pinks and rosey-orange or coral. Each print is made from three blocks in three tints shades of pink or gold on Japanese kozo or mulberry paper 8” by 8” (20.3 cm by 20.3 cm). 🧵
