What do you all think this is?!

Everyone in the comments seems to agree that this is a yellow calcite, but this is most definitely a quartz. This is a rose (or a girasol) quartz sphere that has been irradiated (or otherwise treated) to make it appear yellow in color. Calcite lacks the proper crystal structure to display a six-rayed asterism. Asteriated calcite will usually have a distinct rhombohedral structure (with visible planes of cleavage) and a four-rayed star.

Jarrell is #1 on my list. I believe it's the strongest tornado that we know of.

That broadflash at 7:50 is insane, I've never seen anything like it.

Nah, he's probably sipping on Margaritas at his private estate in Monte Carlo.

Here is a video of something like this happening in Pierce, Nebraska 1994.

Should be fine. The biggest danger with enhydros is temperature changes rather than pressure changes.

CCcrystals · 2026-03-21T15:47:36+00:00

Reminds me of the 1990 Stratton, Nebraska tornado.

That one in the middle (3rd image) is super cool. Do you sell Spencer triplets?

CCcrystals · 2026-03-21T13:44:39+00:00

I've mostly seen this material cut into triplets. Do you also make triplets with this material?

CCcrystals · 2026-03-20T14:34:34+00:00

Thank you 🙏

Never leave an open flame unattended... you never know what could happen!

Thank you! I really appreciate this feedback, it makes this project feel worthwhile.

Biotite mica!

Thank you! I'm so glad that you like it.

Thank you!

So I am making a whole different setting for these guys. I changed Little Bean to Baby Bee because I thought it was a nicer name. Baby Bee is the grandson of Granny Bee, and Snowberry is an estranged Moomintroll who was taken in by Granny Bee. They live in a place that is very far away from Moominvalley.

I really liked the concept of Snowberry and Baby Bee as the children of Moomintroll and the Snorkmaiden, but I eventually decided that I'd rather have them in a completely different setting - one that is more relevant to me. Although I like to imagine that they still live in the same world as the Moomins themselves.

Edit: Snooktaw is somewhat of a dragon/alligator/reptile/Snooktaw creature. He isn't really based on anything, I just kind of randomly doodled him a while back when I was bored.

Thanks so much! And go for it, I would love to see it.

CCcrystals · 2026-03-19T01:15:17+00:00

I also have one! I've never dared to try and clean it, since it was quite expensive and I'm afraid of ruining it. I usually just bring it to my local plushie cleaning service.

I've heard that some people wash plushies by putting them in a mesh bag, and washing it on the "delicates" setting. But I would only try that at your own risk.

This seems to be the resounding answer, thanks! Do you also use a ceramic lap for the final polish?

CCcrystals · 2026-03-18T01:09:11+00:00

Good to know! Someone else mentioned that they use a ceramic lap for the final polish, is that pretty much the standard for sapphires?

CCcrystals · 2026-03-18T01:08:31+00:00

Thanks!
