Vue sur le compte de Rutile, j'étais très curieuse de lire cette bande dessinée. Je m'attendais à être énervée par ce que j'allais lire, mais j'ai été surprise de sentir autant d'émotions fortes et brusque : agacement, colère, angoisse, dégoût, haine... J'ai eu du mal à sortir de cette lecture.

Like frozen fireworks or golden sea urchins, rutile sprays cover a phantom crystal garden within. Polished pieces of this material sell for quite a lot, and intact natural specimens like this one are not common and highly sought after.

Sometimes you can find #minerals in the weirdest places.

Back in ye olde days, mineralogists could walk the train tracks of Parkesburg and find #rutile twins among the rail pilings. After weathering out from surrounding outcrops, rolled downhill and caught in the rail. You can see a little bit of wear and tear on the crystals as a result.

Good luck finding these now, the site was picked clean by the mid-1900s.
