#Gypsum with #Halite ! 🟤
My favorite rocks are those that look like miniature alien worlds up close. This is one of them - I love the variety of sizes, shapes and colors at play here, esp. the second image <3
The green tint on this gypsum comes from abundant copper at the site!

Perfect cubes, simple chemistry 🧂💎
#Halite is sodium chloride crystallized from evaporating saltwater. Its iconic cubic shape reflects its atomic structure, offering a clear example of how #chemistry directly controls crystal form in nature.

Some self collected Halite from my October 2023 trip to Searles Lake, CA! I had to add it to my personal collection because it's so unique. I could release it for the right price though.

A massive collab. using #halite and #dolomite to understand the long-term Mg cycle and its co-regulation with the carbon cycle.

Halite is a great material for experimental studies on deformation and chemical reactions on fast timescales and low temperatures. Opal is.... well... amorphous.
Vote #Halite. Here a small experiment from my PhD times.
