Beautiful but deadly. A stunning piece of chrysotile (aka white asbestos) for #MineralMonday from @morethanadodo.bsky.social

We’re thinking about a new fluorescent mineral display at @morethanadodo.bsky.social

What would you put in it?

You’re absolutely right. These were all part of a display of UK mineral heritage, including lots from the Pennines and Cumbria, as well as classic localities in the Midlands, Wales and the southwest.

A day late for #MineralMonday but we've been busy...👀

The answer to the question, what does a @morethanadodo.bsky.social mineral display look like on the inside 🤔

Feeling like spring can’t come fast enough 🥶? Here’s some trees* 🌳 to brighten up this chilly #MineralMonday

*Ok. You got me. Manganese oxide and goethite dendrites 🤭

We’re changing some of our permanent displays at @morethanadodo.bsky.social which means a chance to get up close to some display specimens like this stunning azurite on malachite with chrysocolla #MineralMonday
