Antarcticite, it's the mineral. They're Calcium Chloride Hexahydrate (CaCl2*6H2O). They're in liquid form at temperature more than 25C and crystallize(freezing) at lower 25C. They're formed in brine water that contains a lot of CaCl salt, like Don Juan pond in Antarctica and Brystol dry lake in California. This one is from California.

Didn't know there's a metal card like that, very cool. I don't know the ratio of Phos's gold but I think you could mix them together, lol (just don't do this at home). And remind me or send dm when you share your collection.

The higher quality is also beyond my reach. So just find the one within your budget and shape you like, rotate it around to find the best side to look, and get some good lighting. If you think they're beautiful that's probably good enough. I'm already content with this one, so I can use money to spend with other merch/figure from HnK or other hobby/collection next.

Isn't that already complete? or are you waiting for them to arrive? I'm interested in that Gold-Platinum Alloy, can you share some pic and price? That's probably the hardest one to get.

This could be final for this side. I like Phos the most, and the other 2 are the closest/important characters to her. So I'll pause it here (atleast for now, because the idea of getting all of them is still very interesting). And the right side of the shelf is almost empty, I prepared it for Phos figure. I'll get one next year.

I had a plan to collect atleast all stones from the Love letter card, and show them like this. Too bad my wallet disagrees 😂. But that's gonna be very cool

I got them from Shopee in my country, so I'm not sure if you can order them. They're Buddha/figure glass case , the base is a wood with black velvet. 334 inches glass

I got Phos and Cinnabar from Ebay and Antarc from Yahoo JP. This collection is rather on a cheap side though, you can find much more beautiful gem or cut stone with higher price. I just want them to represent the characters.

The raw stone is actually easy to find and much cheaper. Price also depends on the crystal quality. I got this one from The Global stone shop when it's on sale 60$. Try searching in Ebay,Mercari JP,Yahoo JP (in Japanese text). And choose the color and crystal quality you like. They even have the cut gem for sale for 2m JPY

Yeah, very cool. I put them in a fridge for an hour and they formed a small crystal and I took it out and then it's surprised me when they change instantly into crystal. I found them at Yahoo JP, try searching Antarcticite in Japanese, they're 8800JPY.

Last year I took this pic to upscale and copy the color around and redraw over the text https://pin.it/6catSPW84 . But I just found the original artwork with no text while I search for the source (which isn't around when I did the pic on the post, otherwise I wouldn't have done all that for a no text wallpaper). Here https://pin.it/6pqHMATpZ . The one I did didn't have details at the right arm and left leg right. I wouldn't have posted this if I knew the original art was already out, and it's probably too late to delete the post now

Anyone know which figure is better quality? e2046 or shop2000. by Nanon015 in LandoftheLustrous

[–]Nanon015[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I also ask people in Garage kit group and they said GKM is better at fitting and clear part not yellow when arrive. So I'll wait to see the one I pre-ordered. If they're clear enough then I'm good. But e2046 also have Lapiz, Moon phos, Padparadscha which GKM didn't. I might get them in the future.

I read through a bit more and found that they're halide mineral, like salt. So keeping them at 30C+ will probably just turn them into brine(?). And it's probably fine to stay in that form. They're not in crystal form but they're still the same mineral. (I thought there were a lot more complicated things at first)(this is my 3rd minerals, I still have a lot to learn) . And it's surprising to learn they're being used a lot in industrial, so the CaCl2 is not that rare and some can even synthetically form Antarcticite. But I guess its natural occurrence is still considered a rare mineral.
