Stayed up way too late last night refining my daily rock redeem templates to add some gneiss #geology visuals for each rock type: #metamorphic #igneous #sedimentary
I've been working on my own collection again lately. I still have a lot more to include in my catalogue as well. Wonderful!
De afgelopen tijd weer met de eigen verzameling bezig geweest. Ik heb nog veel meer om in mijn catalogus op te nemen. Heerlijk!

A Canadian geological pairing
#Staurolite forms in high-grade #metamorphic #rocks, often developing its distinctive cross-shaped #crystals, while #Garnet grows alongside it under similar heat and pressure conditions. Together, they reflect the powerful forces shaping #Canada’s ancient bedrock.
Deep blue shaped by pressure
#Lazulite is a #magnesium iron phosphate #mineral that forms in high-pressure #metamorphic environments. Its rich blue tones and prismatic #crystals reflect the intense #geological conditions that transform ordinary #rock into something extraordinary.

Earthy tones, complex structure
#Wernerite is a member of the scapolite group, forming in #metamorphic environments where heat and pressure reshape existing #minerals. Its elongated #crystals and subtle colours reflect the powerful geological forces at work beneath the Earth’s surface.

So I understand the striations in rocks at the beach in New Hampshire come from heating and cooling deep in the Earth: some of them get etched by seawater and you can see flakes coming off

'optical illusion' painting by Mexican artist Octavio Ocampo, known for his "metamorphic" style. Artist and Style: The painting is by Octavio Ocampo, famous for his metamorphic art, which blends multiple images to create a larger, often hidden, image or optical illusion. "Old Man and the River," depicts a man on a horse and a woman in fabric that, when viewed from a distance, combine to form the face of an old man. Optical Illusion: Ocampo's work challenges perception by weaving detailed elements into a larger image, where the optical illusion becomes apparent as you study the piece. Interpretation: The painting is an example of Ocampo's ability to create visual illusions that reveal different perspectives depending on how the viewer observes the artwork.

From Barb Dutrow, LSU:
...we announce the passing of a metamorphic petrology legend, Michael J. Holdaway on March 21, 2025, at 89 years.
Mike is perhaps best known for his meticulous experiments on the Al2SiO5 system and for developing the andalusite weight loss method for determining reaction […]
