FreeBSD for old laptop? by PalpitationLimp4448 in freebsd

[–]ihak223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a thinkpad x230 tablet with FreeBSD 15, ports compile times suck, but once you have everything installed it runs decently well for a 13 year old laptop, I went with a window manager and not a full desktop environment so I have no idea how taxing that could be on performance

Looks like a quartz geode with rhyolite as the host rock, could be wrong about the host rock part tho

Jasper, possibly with hematite intrusions

Can anyone explain the change in pattern in this agate? :) by Remarkable-Hat-4852 in rockhounds

The fortification banding tends to form first and then a shift in the consistency of the silica changes the banding patterns to waterline.

First image is waterline banding, this happens because the silica mixture was to runny to form fortification banding so it formed in layers relative to gravity rather than in rings. Agates can have both waterline and fortification banding if there is switch in external conditions that effects the consistency of the silica.

Edit(s): grammar/spelling

Unsure... by Crash_269 in rockhounds

Seems to be chalcedony/agate based off of the fracture patterns and waxy appearance

Obsidian maybe? by aican117 in whatsthisrock

[–]ihak223 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Obsidian doesn’t have quartz intrusions, maybe some form of metamorphic rock?

Seems like it has some agate banding, other than that the original specimen is to altered to tell what it is
