A purple cube of fluorite with background celestine is attached to an acrylic base. Several smaller fluorites in various states of disrepair are scattered about on the matrix.
Height of the entire specimen is 6.35 cm.
Lovely purple fluorite from Mexico for #MineralMonday.
I call these Tule Mine specimens "Borg Cubes" for reasons that will be obvious to fans of Star Trek: TNG
From my collection.

The large irregular is (I believe) a Hemiaster sp., collected from a gravel pit in Fort Worth. The regular piece, probably Phymosoma sp., picked up from a residential development in the Killeen, TX area.
For #FossilFriday, here are Two Cretaceous Texas echinoids, self-collected. Irregular variety at left; regular type at right.

LaConner, Washington it is! And just like that, Poza and Melba wasted no time. Straight to the beach near the cabin, discovering beautiful rocks and coastal treasures.

I'm really happy with how this turned out. It was a super simple project but it's exactly what I wanted- a pouch to hang from my walking stick to collect rocks on hikes ๐น

Not every treasure looks like a first pressing. Some of the best stories live in misprints, odd promos, and backstage leftovers.

Found in the Siskiyou Mountains, southern Oregon. Maybe lignite? #rockcollecting
Photograph of a woman in black pants and a green plaid flannel unbuttoned over a black tee shirt. She is wearing a straw hat with a wide, flat brim, somewhat similar to hats worn by the National Park Service rangers. She is surrounded by boulders and in front of an opening that show a blue sky in the background.
Iโve decided to repurpose this account for geology-only content to echo my Instagram. If you like photos of rocks, sands, minerals, fossils, geologic features, I hope you stay! You can still find my regular photography at @jesswithacamera .

A small, more or less rectangular prism-shaped red stone with some stripes and spots.
I think this is jasper, found in the river today.

A red stone held up between my fingers, with a part broken off so that it shows layers of different colors inside.
I found some sort of small agate at the river maybe?

A series of coral and brachiopod fossils displayed in a clear plastic container
Several coral fossils are displayed in a clear container along with a rock that has a circular hole almost all the way through it.
Various river stones and minerals displayed in a one gallon fish tank alongside a druzy quartz geode.
From top to bottom: a bison tooth fossil, an ammonite fossil, and fossilized coral
I found a pretty cool way to display my collection w an old tank & some Dollar Tree bins (all but the amethyst found in IN by yours truly ๐)
