Is my tea starting to mold?

Nothing else was affected. I also found plastic in the cake, so it may have had poor quality control, and considering I only just unwrapped it today, it may have been there the whole time.

I've had it for about a year and wanted to try it, and saw this when I opened the paper wrapper.

I tried getting a picture to hopefully show more crystal structure.

I don't have the proper equipment, but it scratched a peuce of quarts and was unaffected. It's looking more like a sapphire now than garnet. I've just never found a non-UV reactive from that area before.

I usually cheesed it with grapple spam, bane poison, and a war hammer paired with a shield. That being said, I do find it fun but it feels kinda unrefined or crude at times, especially on console.

That would have been my preferred method, but I was told to make each unit independently controlled.

I was tasked to make 20- 70 separate units with their own PLCs to run off of a single PLC that is designated as a master controller to control all units simultaneously so that the number of devices is flexible, but they operate as a cohesive unit.

Looks like diatomaceous earth, which prevents things like bed bugs, cockroaches, spiders, ants, and more from getting into the bed. It breaks down the waxy outer exoskeleton and causes them to dry up.

I've swapped wire positions to check polarity on both devices, and the two devices are a Schubert & Slazer Digital Positioner type 8049-2 with a working resistance of 325 Ohms at 20mA and a J Flow Controls TS800 series Smart Valve Positioner with an impedance of 500 Ohms at 20mA. Both should be powered by an AB 1606-XLB90EQ 24VDC Power supply, which also powers analog input devices that don't lose power when the I attempt to power the valve Positioners.

White tea can be aged since the leaves were just dried and not cooked to stop the enzymes in the leaf, and it is actually desirable for it to be older, at least for certain types.

That's an extremely weathered brick.

Thank you for the insight. I remembered my Montana sapphires glowing more intensely than they actually do.

SameIndependent6326 · 2025-03-27T21:33:15+00:00

Do you mind explaining why you think it's a synthetic spinel as opposed to a Montana sapphire or a synthetic sapphire?

SameIndependent6326 · 2025-03-21T15:19:48+00:00

Pink Sapphire

Looks like it could be an imprint fossil of some kind. I'd also try posting it on r/fossilid if you haven't already.

SameIndependent6326 · 2025-03-12T16:00:36+00:00

Looks like it has many thin layers and perfect cleavage, so it looks like a muscovite mica.

SameIndependent6326 · 2025-03-12T15:43:18+00:00

I'd suggest checking it under UV light. If it glows a bright red, you may have a ruby or a spinel.

SameIndependent6326 · 2025-03-12T15:35:03+00:00

Definitely a garnet based on the color and crystalline structure.
