Cal and Bismuth

Bismuth is a synthetic moon gem, and Chalcanthite (aka Cal) has spent most of her life on the moon, having been the second ever gem captured + to cooperate.

They are roomies and affectionate besties!!!

(Cal - she/they, Bismuth - he/they)

NOTE: Cal is not that much taller than Bismuth, Bismuth is just leaning into her very heavily!! Cal is actually around the same height, if not a little shorter.

Mineral Swag Round 3: Blue! Sorta.

Chalcanthite is water soluble, which is fun! As per a submitter, salt water made with copper sulfate is used in electrical engineering to make resistors.

And from @ergontropy last round: “Chalcanthite's blue comes from CuSO4 * 5H2O. This is the copper (II) sulfate of [copper two sulfate] video acclaim. Also, the mineral's name comes from the Greek words for copper and flower. It's also nicknamed blue vitriol which I think is cool as fuck.”

Labradorite is a feldspar that has these iridescent flashes at certain angles. This iridescent property is sometimes called labradorescence after the mineral. Anorthite, the calcium-rich plagioclase feldspar, also has this iridescence, so there is a lot of debate about whether these are the same mineral or not. Either way, feldspar representation in the poll! Feldspars are the most abundant mineral on earth!

I finished taking rock photos, hooray! (..it's over with!)

I ended up saving 195 photos. I want to take some good pictures of my fluorescent rocks at some point, but I need to figure out how first. I'm glad now I took the pictures on a huge sheet of paper, because some of my rocks left a lot of dirt or shed a lot of fine crystals (looking at you stibnite)

..Not sure when I'll edit them, or how long it'll take, though. Here's a few of the unedited ones.

I designed their embassy properly n also decided Shardium should have a cluster in her lab. She is keping them on hand n case she finds suitable parts for them to rebuild their body. It’s not an easy process at all. Again like I said before feel free 2 ask questions or draw these gems if youd like to (pls credit me if you do) I will gladly share them :)
