If you were thinking "wow I wish my twitter timeline had more pictures of cool rocks" good news I went to a mineral museum today and lost my damn mind A bangin' crystal
This just happens! In nature! What the heck Vanadinite I think?
Totally normal crystals doing normal crystal things and not some fuckin shaders, somehow Some cerussite crystals
What time is it? XENOTIME which is apparently a real crystal and not some made up rock in like the Dune universe or something Some XENOTIME samples
Sometimes you're just looking at a rock wondering why aren't there little red cube buddies popping out of it and BOOM! Wulfenite has GOT YOU COVERED Some wulfenite crystals
Look at this lumpy crystal! It's named PLUMBOGUMMITE because it has a high lead content and it looks like it's made of gummies A plumbogummite crystal!!
This miiiiight be a hematite? I have trouble distinguishing hematite and magnetite @vielmetti Maybe a hematite crystal
OK I have many more crystal pics to share but maybe should pace them out as timeline palate cleansers anyway if you like minerals and are in Beirut consider stopping by mim.museum to be blown away by all the cool rocks and fossils (I didn't even get to the fossils)
Uh...hello new followers who are also excited about minerals, fair warning this account also has non-mineral content about scifi and land use and occultism and stuff? I don't have a soundcloud but I do write more about my work and sometimes geology on patreon.com/lifewinning
Also it's so fucking dope to see all the replies of people sharing photos of their favorite minerals and recommending mineral museums, yes I know rocks and minerals are different but I've never seen Game of Thrones or Breaking Bad sorry
