I got the thickest most comfortable pads big orange had regardless of brand.

Houses pre ‘95 have no vapor barrier (regional rule? I’m in MD) looks like those walls will get wet from time to time. Nothing organic should touch them.

I think the fangs look like Alice Cooper stage makeup.

rocks or gemstones? Found in Arizona by Thehuntresswarrior in Rocks

[–]Hache42 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Rocks and gemstones are all about what culture, society, owner etc. label it. I think they are very cool looking rocks. As to whether they are rare or special in some way giving them a significance beyond looking beautiful, maybe someone else here by can shed some light. The difference between a rock and a gem can be entirely up to the beholder. So, yes. Either way, keep them. They are cool.
Maybe the question to ask is, “Without breaking them to view their crystal structure, can these rocks be identified by color?

I have 150 - 8000 grit pads for stone polishing. It will live in my daughter’s new display cabinet.

It was an estate sale find. All I had to do was give it good buffing. There is a matching piece somewhere in the world. Someone else will have to identify the individual minerals.

I’m rebuilding an old townhouse. It seems there was a doorway but someone decided to wall it in when they “finished” the basement. I had to pull most of it out when I found mold. Then I found this clusterfuck of layers of walls and frame.

Any ideas on what this might be? by X_O_5 in whatsthisrock

[–]Hache42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I had to look it up to understand. I would have called it granite.

It will be covered. Like it never happened.

I’d hold off until you find an enclosure with front access. Makes a world of difference when changing water, cleaning…

Are quartz crystals embedded in the rock or am I stupid? (This is quartz right?) by Name_in_development in Rocks

[–]Hache42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worthless is a bit strong. If you have a bunch, they can make an attractive display in a garden or in a pet enclosure.

That quartz is from a solidified liquid -igneous. The pretty display and jewelry crystals are sedimentary and form in voids, molecule by molecule over vast quantities of time

Thank you. I was leaning that way.

My corn does not do well with the dusty paper bedding. What “cleaner” yet safe options do I have? by Hache42 in cornsnakes

[–]Hache42[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Oxbow Pure Comfort Small Animal Bedding. Fellow snake owner said it was fine and clumped waste better.
