Interesting layered crystals of one of my favorite minerals!
It was supposed to be three or four random ideas on monochromatic themes but then I thought might as well do a whole rainbow (which had to be seven because I like it better than six and that meant pink was also in since I like to spite Newton and not do indigo ever… though now I feel bad for indicolite)
In order - Garnet, quartz/agate, wulfenite, peridot, euclase, polybasite and morganite.
Minerals and plants mixed into beautiful art!
Diwrnod 11: Tair cragen fylchog fawr yn cario tri thrysor blasus. Perffaith i ddechrau gwledd Nadolig!
Day 11: “We three Kings of Orient are…” they may not be from the Orient but these beautiful King Scallops might make a lovely starter for your Christmas Dinner.
King Scallops like the ones I found on the beaches of the Algarve and in the 25 million years old rocks forming the cliffs, caves and sea stacks, in Portugal!
Moeraki Boulders, New Zealand | #Geology #GeologyPage #NewZealand
The Moeraki Boulders are unusually large and spherical boulders lying along a stretch of Koekohe Beach on the wave-cut Otago coast of New Zealand between Moeraki and Hampden. They occur scattered either as isolated or clusters of boulders within a stretch of beach where they have been protected in a scientific reserve.
The erosion by wave action of mudstone, comprising local bedrock and landslides, frequently exposes embedded isolated boulders. These boulders are grey-colored septarian concretions, which have been exhumed from the mudstone enclosing them and concentrated on the beach by coastal erosion.
