Day 20: Home / Distant

Chapter 8: Hello...?

I have crash landed on a dormant gem colony planet. My ship is in shambles, and I'm not sure what survived. I didn't bring much with me, aside from some plug robonoids for small repairs. My records state this place is called 'Earth'.”

Happy venus day 🩵

[self-spaghettification]

these gems supremacy

-blue goldstone (looks like the night sky in a ROCK!!!)

-opalite (holographic clear rock??? it’s literally like a permanent bubble you can hold in your hand?? it looks MAGIC?)

-calico pyrite (it’s cool like pyrite but with better colors) ooooh pretty colors

-hematite (i looks like it would be magnetic and like a droplets of iron in space wtf)

-bismuth(shown below- but goddamn that’s a cool spirally rock it’s like if the ancient aztecs took hallucinogenics when they looked at the mesoamerican pyramids)

[ice-block]

Lots of places use lab grown opals these days! If you familiarize yourself with opals there is a definite distinction between the two

The above images are naturally occurring Ethiopian opals (left) and boulder opals (right) naturally occurring opals tend to be very unique from each other where no two are quite the same and the color seems to be more “steady” or “flow” from one place to another, natural opals will also often have inclusions of their host rock in them (can be seen in the Ethiopian opal picture)

Lab created opals come in a lot more artificial colors as well as natural ones, will never have host rock inclusions (since they never formed in a rock to begin with) and their coloring has a “confetti” look to it consistently.

Other clarifications:

- bismuth

Many people in the notes have pointed out that bismuth is a naturally occurring element, which is true, however it does not occur looking like the rainbow staircase in the image above, the natural element of bismuth looks like this

It’s the crystallization of bismuth is not a naturally occurring phenomenon and needs to be done in a lab

-citrine

Citrine is also a naturally occurring mineral but genuine citrine is both expensive and hard to come by, all citrine is former amethyst that was exposed to high temperatures causing it to change color, because natural citrine is so expensive the majority of stuff on the market is amethyst that has been baked in order to speed up the process of turning it into citrine.

Natural citrine vs heat treated citrine:

Natural is usually translucent, has consistent coloring, and almost never forms in clusters or geodes, heat treated has distinct white roots, is usually opaque and is often sold in clusters like in the image

Man made crystals are so cool it’s so sad everyone who likes rocks is out for blood if you post man made crystals. I love you opalite I love you lab created opal I love you bismuth I love you HTA citrine I love you goldstone

I've been here!

My dog and I hiked here after checking out the tiny, nearby town of Spec, Virginia. It's named after the kind of iron ore that had been mined: specular hematite.

We went about a dozen steps into the mine. Too dangerous to go further.

Day 4: Where have you been?

Chapter 9: The Return

"I'm glad to see that you made it back at all. You will have to tell me all about it later." She said, with a faint smile on her face.

"Yeah, and me too! We'll share a drink over it sometime if you'd like, Hehehe!" Blue wrapped her arm again around Hema's neck, pulling him in harshly and placing her hand in his hair. She waved it around rapidly, giving the white-haired gem a fierce noogie.
