A little trip to Stong Geopark

As a geology student, this kind of experience keeps the learning more interesting. A hands-on specimen is way more practical than normal lecture.

Rare, water soluable uranium ore. This time my specimen is incredibly small, so had to take a macro, probably the rarest mineral currently in my collection. It's from Recsk, Hungary

Rutile

Titanium-dioxide, the most common natural form of it. It's properties very useful for manufacture of certain optical elements (polarization optics). Rutile is common accessory mineral both in igneous and metamorpic rocks this type of the crystals is actually common in other crystals (quartz for... read more

What's your favourite rock and why?

Also, what did the emrald say to the graphite? You rock! I've had a weird obsession with Obsidian since I saw that one guys on YouTube make spears and arrowheads out of Obsidian with... Obsidian. Honorary mention to Amber, it's not a rock but it's so effing cool.

Why did the tectonic plates break up?

It wasn’t their fault, there was just too much friction between them. I saw it. I had to share it, so here it is. Sue me. (edited)

Fossilized Wood

Fossilized wood that my grandfather gave me a few months ago. It's been sitting on my dresser since October so it's dusty af. My grandfather found it in either a creek bed or old river bed decades ago. I'll have to ask him again I can't remember which.

I've just recently moved here and now the moves complete, does anyone know any interesting geological facts about Northumberland. Or suggestions of where to go.Anyone fancy getting hammered and seeing if we can get our rocks off?

Very little activity, strange

1/2 Either USGS doesn’t have access to good regional data, or the region doesn't have good seismographic coverage, or it really is an unusual event/setting because there are no small magnitude aftersocks detected, and I expected to see a swarm of them. (edited)

Vivianite, the Corpse Crystal

It's an Iron-Phosphate, which origin can be both igneous and as it's name says in the proper conditions growing from the iron content of a dead body in phosphorus-rich environments. It's color is originally dark bottle green or dark blue, and it's very fragile 1,5-2 it's hardness on the Mohs- scale.

Probably the most popular crystal: Selenite/Gypsum

CaSO⁴2H²O, this mineral have 4 varieties like the Selenite, Satin spar, Desert rose and the Gypsum flower (I have all varieties in my collection). It's very soft even the fingernail can scratch it (2 on the Mohs scale). The Satin Spar variant is often used as cabochons, and esotheric tools,... read more

Gift from the Copper mine: Azurite

The picture can't giving back it's starry shine, mined in Morocco and it's common. The good quality ones and the geodes are rare and usually small, the tabled crystal form is the most prized. A piece of the Starry Sky, crafted by Mother Earth.

Rare gems: Torbernite

It is from my collection, and it kept all the time in that plastic container due the alpha radiation. It's used worldwide as dense uranium, pressed into yellowish "cakes". Mined in 2021, France. It can be found within other copper ores.

Collection

Calcite var. Hungary- Pilisjászfalu, collected by Zoltán Urbán in 2019, bought it, and added to my collection in the same year. It begun to dissolve back, that's why it's dull surface, Mt. Pilis is famous here from it's karst cave system, it's stalactites mainly from this calcite.

Quartz-Pyrite-Galena on matrix

Something really common, but really beautiful. It's the most frequently mined ore (galena) in the Carpathians along with the iron, copper and aluminum ores. This specimen is probably from Romania or Slovakia (I haven't got a label, but it's price said that). Not my rarest, but one of the best... read more

Rare gems: Garnet (it's not that rare at all, but still precious)

This one is Spessartine Garnet with Quartz and some metamorph crystals from China. The Garnets are widely used since the Bronze age as abrasives and jewelry and it's color varies from the burgundy and tea color to green and even blue (which is very rare).

Rare gems: Epidote

Actually an abundant rock forming stone, coming along with marble. It's color depends on the iron content. Sometimes the well formed crystals used as gemstones, which is very rare. This one mined in Italy.

Labradorite labradorising. The Labradorite is a calcium-enriched feldspar which can display an iridescent effect. This one is mined in China, but can be found in Canada (Where it's found for the first time and got it's name from), Madagascar, US, Australia and Slovakia. It's iridescence can come...
