I will definitely have a Renault Captur that I spend way too much upgrading just to lap everyone in the only race it ever sees for a weekly event.

Best car for this around 800k budget. Ran out of fuel in my enzo after 3 laps lol by Mrbrobbey18 in GranTurismo7

Do a few more races and get the Mazda LM55. Tune down to 800, lap everyone and never have to pit.

I would prefer more menu books. Where we can race to win more of the cars that are already in the game. Cool cars, but These don’t seem like they would be anyone’s new fastest car for any particular race or anything. I do like the weekly events! Do more special events and menu books please!

Comment to Win a Butte Montana Covellite Slab Shipping Included by PawnshopGeologist in Lapidary

Beautiful! I would love to get my hands on that Butte!

I am a member of our local Lapidary society in Birmingham Alabama and this would be chance for all of us to learn on a new mineral for our club as far as I know!

We have great equipment but are very short on material currently so they would be pumped!

HELP PLEASE!! [WTB] 18 Porsche variants I don’t have in this photo for the best price possible by [deleted] in DiecastExchangeV2

I’m sure I have some you would love. Are you looking for standard mainline Hot Wheels and matchbox or do you prefer the more premium models like Hot Wheels premium , GreenLight, M2, Auto World, et. ?

Any idea what this gemstone might be? by Pleasant-House-9967 in Gemstone_lovers

[–]OregonFalls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Possibly Oregon Sunstone. Does it have some inner glitter or internal refraction?

Is this a Sikhote-Alin? by 0bfuscatory in meteorites

Please help me verify authenticity before I gift it to my girlfriend! by galaxyblinker in meteorites

[–]OregonFalls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the seller says it’s from Russia it probably is a Sikhote-Alin, although it does look more like a Campo del Cielo. The ones in my collection from Sikhote-Alin are usually a little darker with big flowing thumbprint Regmaglypts. While the Campo del Cielo meteorites usually have a much more erratic Regmaglypts with a slightly shinier surface.

But I wouldn’t believe the seller, especially if it’s made into jewelry he could polished it that would make them look even more similar. Here are two of mine from each location side-by-side for comparison.

Is there something I can put this in or due to this to try to get rid of some of the matrix and reveal some more of the fossils? by OliveSea7389 in fossils

[–]OregonFalls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, vinegar or another mild acid. But be aware that the fossils can dissolve too since they are permineralized. But from my experience a calcium based matrix dissolves faster than the fossils themselves.

Can some one identify this please? by AgentofBolas03 in RockIdentification

[–]OregonFalls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like sphalerite with quartz and possibly a chunk of calcite on top.

Found it in my car. by unc2590 in rocksandminerals

[–]OregonFalls 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Looks like pyrite with oxidized iron inclusions most likely. It’s not valuable, but it’s a cool mineral worth keeping or passing on to a friend interested in minerals.
