which rock word has the best artistic pizzazz? I’m a fan of “striation” personally, which I don’t even think is technically a rock word, but the hell do I know

Anyway, actual rock question: how come some rocks by the ocean are like, weirdly porous? they’re just like, 98% hole and 2% rock (I think I’m talking about volcanic porous rock, specifically)

(bonus question, because it’s a Friday: what is your favorite geologist pun?)

"Striation" is a rock-related word! Striations refer to these stripey things present in plagioclase, a kind of feldspar! They're very useful for distinguishing plagioclase from orthoclase, a different kind of feldspar that lacks striations but sometimes has exsolution lamellae (wiggly worm-looking things). The picture below is a close-up of the striations.

In terms of pizzazz-y rock-related words...well I guess "exsolution lamellae" is pretty good. But there's another word that comes to mind, and it's one that my roommate pointed out is Quite Excellent back when we were in college and they were helping me study for geology exams.

Graywacke!

Pronounced "gray-wacky", it refers to a specific kind of sandstone. Here's a picture of a graywacke. It might look just sort of like a rock, but that doesn't make it less pizzazz.

(And for shiggles, here's a picture of some exsolution lamellae in some orthoclase.)

As for your question about porous rocks by the ocean, I have an answer!

You are correct that those particular rocks are volcanic. Multiple kinds of extrusive igneous rocks (rocks that form from lava cooling on the Earth's surface) can have those pores in them, but there are two particular kinds of rocks that always have that texture: pumice and scoria.

We refer to that porous texture as a vesicular texture; the pores and gaps in the rock are vesicles. Extrusive igneous rocks develop a vesicular texture when they cool so quickly that gas bubbles trapped inside the lava cannot escape before the rock fully cools. Pumice and scoria in fact cool so quickly that the lava doesn't even have time to form crystals! That's also the case for obsidian, aka volcanic glass, though obsidian doesn't have that vesicular texture to it.

Fun fact: Pumice is so vesicular, so full of these trapped gas bubbles, that it will float in water! Scoria, though also vesicular, is denser and thus will not float.

Here's a picture of some pumice for you.

And here's some scoria.

Now, my favorite geology pun...

Honestly, I'm very fond of using "schist" (a very sparkly metamorphic rock) instead of "shit". Though that's definitely at least in part due to the fact I didn't swear until halfway through college lmao. I had to get creative with my euphemistic swears.

(And here's some schist for you to admire. I specifically pulled up garnet schist, you're welcome.)

Boxer!Sukuna who makes you kiss his gloves before his match for good luck.

masterlist

His team had left the locker room and it was just the two of you now. You were sitting on a bench while he organized his bag. “I didn’t know you got so many freebies from your sponsorships.” In your hand, was a brand new boxing shoe that he received from UnderArmor for a sports shoot campaign.

“Eh, they’re not really what I need in the actual matches but I use them during training cause I don’t wanna waste ‘em,” he mumbled. He seemed to be more on edge than usual. During his last match, he lost by a landslide, having a sour taste in his mouth from the experience. He blamed you because you weren’t there to kiss his glove prior to the match.

You turn to look at him staring down at his gloves.

“Sukuna.”

“Yeah?” He turned to look at you. No smiles, just a deadpan expression. You walked towards him and held his face in your hands. You could tell he was nervous about the fight even though he had won so many before.

“Honey, what’s on your mind?” Your voice was sincere and comforting for him. “What if I’m in a slump? My last match was so bad. I’ve never lost like that. What if I’m on a losing streak now?”

You get on your tippy toes and kiss his cheek. “Sukuna, you’ve worked hard have you not?” He nods. “And you feel like you’ve trained well this time.” He nods again. “Then why are you so worried? Is it because you were distracted last time?”

He sighs and wraps his arms around you, burying his head in the crook of your neck in the process. “Look, I don’t know if you think it’s weird but when I see you outside the ring, I feel like I have a reason to win. It drives me to fight better. I had a really shitty day last time and when I didn’t see you I just didn’t feel like giving my all.”

Your heart felt like it was being torn to pieces after seeing your husband sulk. “I just felt burnt out. I was hoping that once I saw you then I’d feel better.”

You hugged him tighter and kissed his shoulder. “I’m sorry, Sukuna, I promise I’ll never do that again.” You start rubbing your hand up and down his back in hopes to calm him down right before his match.

“Kiss my gloves for me?” he asks as he pulls away. You nod. He takes his boxing gloves out and places them in your hands. You leave a delicate kiss on each of them, your gloss leaving a small sparkly stain. He takes them from your hand and kisses them on the same spots as you did, maintaining eye contact with you throughout. “You’re my good luck charm, you know that?” he says as he strokes your head.

You show him a teethy grin and nod.

“And you’re mine.” Your reply made him smash his lips to yours. “I’ll be sure to win now that you’re here.” He mumbled against your lips.

No thoughts. Just boxer!sukuna
