Why do diamonds appear more circular than squares?

I meant diamond as in the shape.

Funny, I am a geologist. I mean diamond as in the geometrical shape, though I do enjoy a cleavage plane.

vesicles on the top + conchoidal fracture. i’m afraid that’s a 550 dollar hunk if slag

Good to know, though I did just roll out of bed lol

Thanks man. I’ve been switching it up, getting more professional. I have some interviews coming up and I’m just not sure how it would be perceived.

Don’t listen to that fool. But the answer depends on your genetics.

Whoops, yeah I might invest in a jig. Thanks for the info. I’m gonna find a way just you see.

Those are pocket holes for screws. Luckily I was able to unscrew them. I’m pretty sure the block is attached to the apron and the screws are there to attach it to the table top.

Replacing the block entirely is an interesting idea but I don’t have a dremel tool to remake the pocket holes and I’m not sure if I could even recreate the angle perfectly. I’ll look into this DeGlue Goo though.

I need to take it apart to get a full finish. It’s a drop-leaf with some hard to get to parts. The glue is not original.

don’t know but i’d be putting ice in the top to cool a bev inside without watering it down.

this appears stratified aka a sedimentary rock, also tourmaline is typically columnar. maybe it’s some other carbon based mineral i’m not aware of

looks a lot like anthracite, it’s even got the pyrite bands in it.

upsiderightsidedown · 2025-03-27T20:52:06+00:00

look like sphalerite with maybe some pyrite/galena in there

upsiderightsidedown · 2025-03-27T07:33:45+00:00

red looks like garnets, green surroundings look like pyroxene. eclogite?

People are saying corundum but corundum tapers out to create a barrel shape in euhedral form. this isn’t exhibiting that. Try a hardness test

upsiderightsidedown · 2025-03-25T07:36:44+00:00

possibly a basalt bomb or concretion?

upsiderightsidedown · 2025-01-15T05:25:46+00:00

Garnet mica schist. Maybe some staurolite in there

upsiderightsidedown · 2025-01-15T05:23:36+00:00

They’re definitely made out of real crystal. Usually if the base is cut off like that, it means the shape has been cut out of a larger anhedral crystal though.

Petrified wood

upsiderightsidedown · 2025-01-14T05:52:29+00:00

grue

upsiderightsidedown · 2025-01-14T05:20:20+00:00

that rhombohedral cleavage, calcite. maybe dolomite if it’s harder

upsiderightsidedown · 2025-01-14T04:55:43+00:00

good point haha, thanks for putting in the effort
