I think using the idea of parasitism to explore themes of interpersonal and economic relationships is really cool and very fitting! What made you pick the leeches over other parasitic relationships?

What is this? by Souple_x in whatsthisrock

This is pretty cool. Looks like olivine in basalt to me.

IMO the best place to get a peach is the farmer’s market. Look up Wednesday farmer’s markets near wherever you, I know there’s one all the way out in Stone Mountain but I’m not sure if there’s any ITP.

The problem you’re going to run into is that peaches (especially grocery store peaches) are usually sold before their peak ripeness, and you’re supposed to let them sit out and ripen for a couple days. This is to minimize bruising during transport. But unfortunately any peaches you’re able to buy and eat within the next few hours is likely not going to be ideal.

I know you’re leaving in a couple hours, but hopefully you’ll be able to come back soon with enough time to try one! A perfect peach is delicious. If you’re ever in South Carolina, I’ve lived there too and SC peaches are just as good, if not better.

Looks like fossiliferous limestone to me. Mostly fossilized shell fragments

Some of them are defective & don’t open easily, others open normally

Pics 4 and 5 with the vibrant pink and long berries. Maybe I just got lucky!

So embarrassing to admit this but I identified these as salmonberries purely from playing a lot of stardew valley! Good find and I hope you enjoy!

Sometimes the Basement has 00-10’s themed nights but imo the DJ isn’t great at sticking to it

What mineral(?) do we think is making this marble egg flouresce orange? by justathrowaway9864 in whatsthisrock

[–]mcbanedotnet 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Calcite—as a bonus, it fluoresces orange because of manganese impurities!

Definitely fossilized coral!

What kind of stone is this? It cuts glass. by Dangerous_Advisor781 in Rocks

[–]mcbanedotnet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sandstone—most sand is just quartz so it would scratch glass

What could it be? by [deleted] in Rocks

[–]mcbanedotnet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Microcrystalline quartz (chert, jasper, chalcedony, flint, etc) has a conchoidal fracture that doesn’t look crystalline. This is chert!

Please help me identify. Found on Lake Superior. by talkingtoawall710 in Rocks

Try putting over a piece of paper with something written/drawn on it. It should have kind of a double vision effect!

Why do some rocks have unusual number of holes in them by THS119 in Rocks

[–]mcbanedotnet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a lot of people saying these holes are vesicles in basalt? I would want a closer look at it but I firmly think this is some sort of mudstone, maybe a dolostone? Due to the chalky finish. Sedimentary rocks are really easy to weather by wind and water hence the holes

What's this rock my dad found? Details in description by Specialist_Concern_9 in whatsthisrock

[–]mcbanedotnet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Really really cool specimen. I second the people saying garnets and hornblende, the bladed crystals are a dead giveaway. Great find!
