Ofc! For Master Buu I have GOT to go with Arsenopyrite!! It's an iron-arsenic sulfide forming greenish-yellowish metallic crystals that remind me of gator scales 🐊. When heated or struck it releases a characteristic pungent odor! 💨

Took me a while but I'd say your wolf is a Hematite+Rutile combo! Hematite crystals are silvery grey, but its streak is fleshy-rusty-red, so any weathering on it looks like scars. It often associates with Rutile, which forms thin golden spikes (they remind me of Wulfric's neck-chain and eyes).

Closing this batch is my biggest specimen of milky #Quartz. It always amused me how many fancy names there are for slightly different kinds of what is basically just regular ol' quartz ("Kryształ Górski" makes me chuckle).
I love the tiny rainbow reflections.

Otter's favorite uranium ore - #Torbernite! As far as green minerals go, torbernite definitely sports the most 'alien' look.
Kobolds go crazy for it so watch out.

#Kyanite on quartz, with its frosty blue hue and dynamic, sharp angles. Esp proud of the first image (It's stacked from 12 individual photos!)

I wanted some kind of mica (characteristically flaky, sheet-like minerals) for my collection, so naturally I ended up getting #Fuchsite - a chromium-rich variety of muscovite. The green looks uniquely metallic from a distance, but up close the flakes become so alluringly vitreous 💚

Otter finally got an actual tripod for macro and omg the difference is massive. Everything looks so much sharper now (thanks @imagorev.bsky.social for camera tips 💚)
Results coming tomorrow - here's a sneak peek!

Last in this batch is #Tourmaline var. #Schorl, showing off its trigonal system with beautiful terminations. It reminds me of something but I can never exactly tell what.
There's something really enchanting about smooth, polished, black surfaces.

Adding to the family of I-can't-believe-this-isn't-named-after-the-animal, here's #Crocoite🐊 - with burning orange crystals and a cavernous look that reminds me of a collapsed colonnade.

Here's a mix of #Galena, calcite & dark sphalerite. Can never get enough of those alienlike shapes, somehow looking equally geometric and natural.
I picked this specimen up because it reminded me of a friend's fursona (bonus points if you can guess who 👀)

Next up: #Wulfenite with its gentle yet fiery orange tint and a myriad bright reflections. I refuse to accept it was named after a guy - to me this will always be the Wolf Stone 🐺🧡
(perhaps Fox would be more fitting though?)

Up first - #Wavellite! This yellowish-green mineral forms stunning radial patterns. What do they remind you of?

Finally got my hands on some Pyromorphite last week! Very few minerals can match the intensity of its green color. Love how this specimen looks like a miniature jungle. (Gute Hoffnung mine, Germany)

Otter's first foray into mineral photography with focus stacking. Up first: malachite, kyanite, crocoite!
