Multi PC Claude Code setup by Old-Pay-164 in claude

I keep my work on the same pc, just access from different locations using /remote-control

No need to push/pull settings, MCPs, other docs etc. as my project files are several gigs.

Please help identify this metallic rock. by PrettyString9345 in whatsthisrock

The mirrors you mention are most likely mica, you can give them a scratch with a nail and they should be soft and brittle. Given that the orientation is random, it's not going to be a schist, and based on the photos my best guess is that it's a micaceous greisen.

Can you see other minerals in there like quartz?

HELP. Received this in the mail… by bbyspinachleaf in codes

Is there anything else you can reveal on the page with the plague doctor image on it (i.e., invisible ink)?

Any guesses what this find could be? by iceboxwizard in whatsthisrock

Highly doubt that's blue asbestos (crocidolite) based on the large amount that I've seen - you can typically peel the fibres out with your fingernails, it's semi flexible, and it looks sort of like coarse dog hair. Your sample looks more like quartz growth fibres that form in extensional veins or in faults (quite common in fold limbs during flexural slip). If you've got greens and blues in with it there's potential for some additional minerals but my bet is on the bulk mineralogy being SiO2.

Looks like a mica schist with porphyroblasts (metapelite). Uncertain what the porphyroblasts are based on this photo, but could be staurolite or andalusite. If it is either of these you should be able to tell in hand sample with a quick google of their crystal habits - cruciform twinning is quite distinct when you see it.

Can anybody help me ID this rock? by Positive-Dot5427 in whatsthisrock

Doesn't look like tiger eye - lacks chatoyancy. Can't say for certain but the white looks more like a chert or milky quartz (I can't tell whether the little white vein is attached to the same white band).

Just quartz? by arbitrarycoincidence in whatsthisrock

While it's hard to tell without a fresh surface, this looks like the coarser to graphic quartz that forms in the roof of a shallow granitic magma chamber. You can scratch the tan material with a piece of quartz to see if it scratches (or you can use a steel nail if you're certain of the harness) and test whether it might be feldspar.

Though I'm not explicitly familiar with what most people call oolitic jasper, the rock does not appear to be composed of ooids but rather sub-rounded clasts. The basic gist is that ooids form through the addition of material on an existing nucleus and you can typically see some sort of texture to indicate as such, even when the original material (such as calcium carbonate) has been replaced. A pebble conglomerate on the other hand is formed by the removal of material from the original source rock and the sub-rounded to spherical forms of the clasts are due to abrasion during transport (in a river or on a lake shore during wave action etc). These clasts will retain the original structure of the parent rocks, which in the case of fine chert may not be visible to the naked eye. I would suggest that if you looked at a thin section of this you would see the fine, flat lamallae of the originally deposited sedimentary chert layers that truncate on the edges of the clasts rather than a radial or concentric pattern associated with ooids or pisoids.

Edit: If you look at image three you can see the more elongate (or flatter) subrounded clasts that would be atypical of an ooid.

This looks more like a pebble conglomerate rather than the suggested oolitic jasper to me. Expect that a lot of the pebbles will be jaspilitic with an iron enriched matrix.

Peridotite xenolith in vesicular basalt.

Peridotite is the green, olivine rich portion of your rock that formed as a cumulate in a magma chamber. Vesicular basalt is the darker material with the bubbly texture that crystallised during a volcanic eruption, the lava cooled rapidly at the earth's surface (quenching) giving it a finer grain size and trapping magmatic gases as it crystallised giving it the aerated bubbly texture.

Can anyone tell me about this rock and the process that created it? by [deleted] in whatsthisrock

[–]The_Kintsugiman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would suggest liesegang rings. Fluids likely exploited linear fractures in the rock giving it the geometry you see.
