I remember seeing one, or am I delusional?

Is there a tungsten carbide-tipped engraving/writing pen and a magnetic pendulum in the same tool? If so, where can I buy one? (edited)

Taberg, a unique Mountain

A few days ago I was at the Mountain Taberg in Småland (Southern Sweden). It fully consist of Titanomagnetiteolivinite and is the only occurrence on Earth, except a small one in New Jersey. The rock has a iron content of ca. 30 %, the processed iron has traces of Ti and V, thus the steel is hard... (edited) read more

Shaky ground!

I hope everyone's safe in Venezuela after the double quakes last night. There's been a lot of activity in many regions around the world lately. Earthquakes, waking volcanoes. Typhoons... Even some mountains starting to crumble in big chunks. Stay alert, stay safe. Don't ignore the warning signs.

Please help me identify this

**UPDATE* Since posting this, i have settled on this stone being green zebra jasper. Still nothing on where it may have come from, though.* I've had this thing for a several years. I found it buried in a yard in south-central Kansas, USA. It's been slowly smoothed and given the slightly glossy... (edited) 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.

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.

Did you find the tiny dino?

Sandstone. Weathered. Fine to coarse grain. 1st time we found this site, we thought it's limestone 😅 took a closer look and found out it's sandstone. It was a mine. Weathering make this site look like this. Locals call this site 'Jurassic Park' because of the landscape reminds them of Jurassic... read more

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)

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.

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.

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.
