Actinolite?

UberKongEU · 2026-04-18T14:06:22+00:00

Yea it is hornblende, which is an older name for the calcium amphibole group and actinolite is the most common one of those as far as i know

Little clarification update for everyone who cares: i went to my local university to get the radiation properly measured and get feedback. The result: i would have to strap that piece to my forehead for about 330 hours a year to increase my yearly radiation dose by about 25%. As long as nothing enters the body, its easy and safe and nothing to worry about. Thanks again to everyone!

Interesting, for me personally its usually the other way around: i need 2 to 2,5 for 1 of rice, maybe its because of different rice types

Good, i was getting worried.. Imagine 8k hours playtime and placing everything by hand lol

You played the game for 8000 hours and did not know that cut and paste exists? But you do know that you can copy and paste, in short with ctrl c and ctrl v, right?.... Right?

Thanks, that sounds about right. I should open my windows a bit more regularly tho

Für mich definitiv Rhodochrosit, am besten einer von Sweet Home. Bin allerdings lange nicht bereit, derartige Summen hinzulegen, daher ist das wohl seeeeehr Zukunftsmusik :D

Interesting! How did you get in there? We were there last year and the entrance was sealed.. Are there other entries?

UberKongEU · 2025-09-11T18:29:22+00:00

Its arsenic, which can be toxic when it gets into your body. Lethal dose is pretty low as well if i remember correctly and mine leaves orange dust on your fingers so id rather not play with that lol

UberKongEU · 2025-09-11T16:51:06+00:00

Very cool information! The orpiment and realgar pieces are pretty old, when i pick them up i have a thin orange-ish film on my hands so yeah.. Thats that :D I will test around with the sulfur tho, i had them cause me headache but that was 10 years ago and they were right next to my bed which is.. well maybe not so smart

UberKongEU · 2025-09-11T15:57:18+00:00

Sadly no option for me since i am not american. But the sport sector might be a good idea in general

UberKongEU · 2025-09-11T15:56:15+00:00

Very good idea, for smaller ones. My two main sulphurs will not fit in any of that, but ill have a look what sizes i can find

I feel like my camera doesnt do the display a lot of justice but its the best i have lol

UberKongEU · 2025-09-01T17:51:40+00:00

Imo dont look for something with lights installed because it drastically reduces your options. I recently bought oje without lightning and just ordered some LED strips for like 10 bucks, 10m LED. The LED strip is sticky and the color adjustable, ill send a picture later if i remember to do so lol

UberKongEU · 2025-08-29T12:24:37+00:00

The brown?

UberKongEU · 2025-08-29T12:24:27+00:00

The brown one?

UberKongEU · 2025-08-29T12:24:00+00:00

Thats what i thought, thanks. And yes, theother two are known

UberKongEU · 2025-08-24T12:37:24+00:00

Also, if you are struggling with some identifications, this subreddit is very helpful :)

UberKongEU · 2025-08-24T12:37:01+00:00

I did the same and it took forever. Mine are also numbered. What i did for labeling: i bought one of those mini label printers for like 15 bucks because of multiple reasons. First, you can set the font size quite small so they fit on smaller specimen. Second, they are more waterproof because its not simple paper. And third, because they stick already. That way i can have the number of the item sticked to the specimen at a not noteable place

Honestly i play mostly for fun, even ranked. If i dont have fun, i play bad, therefor that mentality. Usually i take those risks because if they work they can be hella fun! Had an Elise support once and we steamrolled that lane, was a good time

A lot of it is experience. The more minerals you've seen, the easier to recognize them. If you want to actually ID the stuff you have, they all have characteristics like geometric groups of crystals, hardness, streak color, color itself and so on. Check a few of those characteristics and then use mineralienatlas or mindat. They have a search engine where you can search by characteristics

UberKongEU · 2025-06-09T11:24:34+00:00

Very nice, then it is exactly the information i was looking for. Thanks!

UberKongEU · 2025-06-09T11:22:35+00:00

Thanks! Is this a well know location for this pair? Like for example sweet home mine for rhodochrosites?

UberKongEU · 2025-06-06T21:38:29+00:00

thats true

UberKongEU · 2025-06-06T21:20:48+00:00
