Soooo the one day I didn’t have my crystals on me at work was the one day I made less than 150 since I’ve been keeping them on me. WELL last night I decided to bring my huge fluorite sphere to work in my bag just to test the waters…. Tell me how ya bitch made 280!??? And I only worked 6 hours???? Absolutely insane. I truly don’t think this is a coincidence, I mean, maybeee it is, but that’s just too consistent to not mean something, right?

Mineral Swag Tournament Finals

Okay y'all, this is it. The FINAL for the Mineral Swag Tournament.

Fluorite.

Fluorite is a fantastic mineral. It would not have gotten this far otherwise. It comes in a ton of colors, it naturally forms both octahedra and cubes (and massive deposits), and it show brilliant bright blue color under UV light. Fluorescence (the phenomena) is named that because of fluorite!

It also does this fun thing (that other minerals do as well, but it is common among fluorite) where it changes color as it forms because of changing impurities in the solution from which it grows! Elements like iron, copper, manganese, chromium (and more!) can replace individual ions in fluorite's chemical structure and cause the light to reflect different wavelengths and we therefore see that as a different color. This can also happen if a fluorite ion is missing because the sample has been irradiated (for example) and NOTHING replaces it and so the light still reflects in a different way! That is one of the ways we get purple fluorite and this method of producing color is known as color centers.

Of course, not all fluorite fluoresces. Not all fluorite forms cubes or octahedra. Some fluorite is colorless. Some of it looks like an ugly little piece of translucent rock. Or a vein of purple mineral in a crack between two other rocks. It would be irresponsible for me to insinuate that all fluorite is this majestic.

But there are some properties that you will always find in fluorite. It has four directions of cleavage. It is the defining mineral for a 4 on the Mohs hardness scale. It will always be made of calcium and fluoride in a 1:2 ratio. These things are some of what define fluorite as a distinct mineral!

Opal.

Opal is a beautiful gemstone. Please note that I did not call it a "beautiful mineral" because it is not technically a mineral. It is a solid, inorganic substance with a defined chemical formula, but it lacks the specific crystal structure which minerals MUST have to be considered a mineral.

This crystal structure is the entire reason why fluorite is capable of forming cubes and octahedra. And why garnet forms dodecahedra and beryl forms columns and so on. Opal only comes in those fun little oval shaped stones because it was cut that way! Fluorite forms cubes because it just knows how. Otherwise, opal forms shapeless masses that fracture rather than cleave (fluorite cleaves--four ways). That being said, opal's lack of crystal structure allows it to sometimes be iridescent.

After all, there is a reason opal made it this far. When it shines, it is beautiful. There are several varieties of precious opal (opal that displays its trademark play-of-color/iridescence) and they are all very fun to look at. These precious opals are made of microscopic silica spheres that light reflects off of in weird ways and causes opal to look like it is glittering with a dozen different colors.

However, one would be remiss to forget common opal! Some opal is milky white or a translucent blue, and if you're going to love opal at her fire opal, you better also love her at her common opal.

Here are some raw pieces of opal (common opal on the left). Note how they break irregularly. They have conchoidal fracture, which both quartz and normal glass (all of which are just silica) also have. I personally think conchoidal fracture is pretty neat.

Also, while the opals on the right would still be considered precious opal, they are what the average person is likely to find. Just little bits of iridescence here and there.

And, like fluorite, while not all opals have all of the cool features, they do have some similarities. They will always have conchoidal fracture if they break. And they will always be made of hydrated SiO2.

...That's all I have for these guys, I think! I hope I have been as impartial (and accurate) as possible while presenting these, your FINAL mineral swag contestants. If you have any questions or anything, let me know. The Rock Swag Tournament will start shortly after this concludes! Submit your rocks here! And specific rock formations or named rock varieties here!

omg omg omg

remember how in Little Home Word, garnet separated Sapphire was a teacher, and Ruby was... i don't remember, but, imagine fluorite fusion reader was like that? like, one gem is a baker, another a butcher, another a florist, one a seamstress, one a glass smith, like that, and they all have this big ass building with each floor for one gem to sell their trade, and at the end of the day, they come back together, because, while they all do different things, and are different gems, they all still so much safer and happy together.

🌂

Aaaaawwwww! The sweetness! The love! The cuteness! Okay, so, we don't know what gems make up Fluorite, so I'm going to headcanon a few:

Three Peridots help make up the fusion, Star Peridot Reader with star-shaped hair, who shows gems how to fix electronics, Sphere Peridot Reader with sphere-shaped hair, who loves to garden and plant vegetables, and Triangle Perdiot with triangle-shaped hair, who studies the waters of the Earth and its many creatures...

A Pearl Reader is there, too, who loves to bake and cook and try new recipes!

A Beryl Reader teaches theatre, and loves to read ancient plays!

And finally, a Quartz makes up Fluorite Reader, and teaches sports like soccer and volleyball!

These six Reader parts love each other and are a facet to the whole of Reader, and when together as Fluorite Reader, they feel all the warmth and acceptance of themselves...

It feels good to be them...

I’d love to learn more about your OC!!

How did you develop the idea for her? And why choose Donnie to pair her with? 😁

Hgvgvhvhhvhh well, now I have to explain, now don't I?

When I think of which two characters inspired Iseult personality the most, Velvet of Vanillaware's Odin Sphere and Vivy, the titular character of Vivy: Fluorite Eye's Song are the two biggest culprits.

In the case of Vivy, she's pretty much responsible for both Iseult's nature as a hand-to-hand combatant, as well as her outward personality where she's serious, intelligent, and can come off as somewhat aloof depending on who she's talking to (also the fact that she can sing.) As for Velvet, Velvet is easily one of my favorite female characters of all time and without spoiling her story, what really strikes me about her character is that even though her backstory is riddled with tragedy, she never allows it to drag her down. She's incredibly sweet and kind, constantly puts her life on the line for others, and no matter what happens, she never gives up. Iseult, at her core, is very much the same, even if her goals are much different. (Velvet wants to save the world, Iseult just wants to grow her flowers in peace and quiet and not see her friends die a horrible, painful death.)

As far as her character design goes, her overall outfit was inspired by the turtles' Fast Forward fits, while her alien species being based on chinchillas is taken from an earlier version of her character where she was human who became a genetic experiment of Bishop's. As for why I chose to ship her with Donny... Well, it's because he's my favorite turtle LMAO I can't really rationalize it any more beyond that.
