Arsenic - useful, but so contaminating e.g. Salsigne or Devon Great Consols

Devon Great Consols share.google/dhgIiKBGKdMh...
And then there is wonderful salt, mine it, evaporate it from the sea, essential for health. #teamhalite every time

My taste buds are firmly Team Halite. And look how pretty good ole NaCl can be! All different colors of the rainbow, thanks to traces of other elements in the structure. #MinCup26

🧪 Salt tectonics is the study of significant thicknesses of rock salt within sedimentary basins, how and why salt structures evolve and the three-dimensional forms that result, and the physics of salt mobilization. Salt tectonics is a fascinating branch of geology in itself…

If you:
- ever earned a salary
- enjoy salad, salsa, slaw, sauce, or sausage
- have used halogen lights

Then you etymologically (and sometimes directly) owe that to salt!

It's a match between a mineral you want to be cautious breathing near and one you eat every day as arsenic-rich #arsenopyrite is against table salt #halite.

Last year, for Mineral Cup 2025, I ink-sketched all the minerals in a handmade sketchbook as an exercise to learn more about minerals. This was the result:

It’s painful to watch “mannequin” with zero experience try to make the case for Ukraine to cede. It’s clear Kushner sides with Putin and it’s clear the United States no longer has a functioning Congress.

How about telling Putin to get the fuck out of Ukraine?

so, off topic, I was wondering how Jared had the folded US flag (sacrifice &/or service). According to a basic search:

"Jared Kushner received a folded U.S. flag as a gift from the Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman during a visit to Saudi Arabia"

So how did bone saw get a folded US flag?

Botox and fillers makes everyone look really really weird when they talk. Whose memorial flag or was it bought at Hobby Lobby ? It looks small.
Kushner on Ukraine:

“President Putin's laid out his line of what he wants to achieve. If Ukraine, you know, wanted to withdraw to that line, then obviously, you know, we have the rest of the deal set up and put together. Ukraine right now does not want to do that.”

Putin’s brain cell

Sorry. FOR GYPSUM! FOR CALCITE!
Last I looked at Quartz it was very much not winning and I assumed it had not won. The margin, as the poster says, is still shockingly narrow.

With so many posts in its favour, Calcite’s defeat is highly suspicious. I’m donning my armour and brandishing my nihilist sword to join you on the battlefield of vengeance.
