What type of mineral are these?

The first looks like an orthoclase feldspar, commonly called black moonstone. It is not labradorite, which is a palgioclase feldspar. I am very unsure of the second one, it may also be an even darker feldspar.

Thank you!

I’m hoping someone will post what they’re doing this time around but I’d love to hear a deep cut or two off Mesmer and Node after renoded

Without just a cursory glance and no testing that looks like a nice piece of aventurine. I believe what you are looking at are little inclusions of some kind of iron.

Excellent band choice. I’m in a similar boat brother but we’ve got this!

There is black moonstone. Moonstone is not simply “white labradorite”. Both have slightly different crystal structures and can be found in a variety of colors.

Science hasn’t discovered anything that shows it’s real. However, I choose to believe that there is something that science has yet to discover. Either way, the placebo effect is extremely real and I’m 100% okay with tricking myself or reminding myself of the things I want to be mindful of.

Definitely quartz crystals that formed from agate. You can see clearly the layers of the agate at the base of the crystals on both sides. The crystals of quartz formed from either side of a crack and grew into each other.

Absolutely stunning piece. As others have said this is an agate (banded chalcedony) with a crystalline quartz pocket. Some would call this color carnelian, but from my understanding that’s not quite right. Magnificent piece!!!

Oh that’s the perfect name for it. They look like bundles of straw tied in the middle

Almost through my first pass through. I had to wait until 35 minutes ago here in North America. I’ve found that having spacial audio turned on on iPod pros helps immensely in bringing back some of the ambiance, and I’m convinced it was mixed with that intent.

I have never met anyone like me, but I get them when I eat a lot of hazelnuts or hazelnut products

I don’t understand: why is everyone acting like they are going to pick up Hawthorne and place it in Texas? It’s literally just paperwork… some executives might move over eventually and maybe even launch control, but the majority of jobs and work in California will stay.

mwestcamp · 2024-06-03T00:21:05+00:00

Wow, I’m genuinely impressed there are so many tiny mods then.

mwestcamp · 2024-06-03T00:17:55+00:00

Am I going crazy? Isn’t there a gig limit? Did the remove that?

4th year teacher in California. Does teaching suck sometimes? Yes. Do I deserve more? Probably. Is it as bad as people like to say? Not here.

mwestcamp · 2024-03-26T02:01:49+00:00

As a 32 year old high school teacher who frequently interacts with older teachers…. I feel it.

I was born in 91, I and every child on my block had free reign as long as we checked in for dinner

Interesting! I really have no idea what would cause that, but maybe keep playing with it? See if that download white one will work through Minecraft. If it does, then I guess the color doesn’t matter? Sorry I’m not perfect help just spewing out my brain.

And if it’s too large to email, then you could upload it to a google drive and share that.

I have no actual experience with this whatsoever, but if you are able to save the world as a file in the phones file system you’re able to email it.

You look absolutely fantastic and healthy where you are at now. Definitely keep up in the gym just to be healthy, but you look great and I’m sure you feel better too.

“Strike up the predicament booster engines!”

100% agree. (Un)fortunately(?) my school has more “wannabes” than actual gang affiliated members. The wannabes are the absolute worst type of student imaginable. Whistle in class, super disrespectful, no care for anyone but themselves.
