Zunyite is an aluminum sorosilicate hydroxide fluoride chloride mineral, it is a collector’s stone named for its discovery in the legendary Zuni mines of Co.
Zunyite doesn’t contain many dangerous elements, but it does have high toxicity risk if ingested or swallowed. #Teampoison #teamflouesent
Penetrative twinned crystals of zunyite coated with a fibrous black particulate. The 2 opposing triangles are growing within each other anf make for a stunning formation of growth where the crystals dont appear to mind that they are growing within each other and maintain their triangle shape. The color is rusty red with black speckles A single triangle specimin, ruddy red and in high contrast with the green speckled purple material it rests on. A bottom view of zunyite under flourescense. The red glow is striking across the surface. Deep red and neon red dominates the surface of the specimin. This is a pryamid of zunyite with several other triangles of zunyite growing inside of it, the centers of the faces of the pryamid all appear to have triangles growing out if their centers.

Dioptase is very pretty with that rare colour. But #Wavellite has undeniable alien star quality, and gets my vote.

I was going to vote for #azurite because it is beautiful and a copper ore. But now I’m learning about #kosmochlor, and I’m intrigued.
I’ll collect more interesting facts before casting my vote

Okay but was anyone going to tell me there was a Yu-Gi-Oh card called Icejade Kosmochlor?! Which is iridescent?!

Sorry Azurite...usually I vote for you but sometimes I gotta let my childhood nerd take one.
An image of the card. It has 10 stars so wow! It is aqua element and makes it so enemy units can only act on the turn they are summoned. 1500 atk/3000 def. This image is lower quality but tilted so the kridescent printing is visible.

Finally an easy one! Of course no question, living in Arizona #Azurite for the win! As proof take a look at one of the most popular photos I ever got- a quick snap from a P&S camera. #MinCup25
It’s often found with green malachite.
For more visit my Flickr albums. I own way too many specimens.
Beautiful geode from Arizona is partially open to reveal crystal interior mostly rounded hollow space covered in medium azurite druzy tiny crystals. Darker and deep blue edges of the hole are polished. 7” diameter.

Today we learned there’s a mineral called #kosmochlor (forgive us for not knowing!), and we’re green with envy for this emerald-hued stunner. It has our vote! #MinCup25

analog gamers should all vote #Baryte: without it, playing cards would suck! that's right, any playing cards that feel good to deal probably have this mineral mixed in the paper to thank.

Can I get a side of flies with that? Gleba gone in 20 minutes--tiny fly feet tracking stinky spore goo wherever they land. Pseudocolus fusiformis.

Goodnight Skeetiepies
Two golden mushrooms sit next to each other, a brown leaf lays in the foreground. Behind, Chachi the husky looks on, partially hidden behind a tree. Looking kinda goofy if you ask me
