2026 calls out for versatile quartz which under stress when rubbed or crushed triboluminescences, shining rather than crushed. Tough & adaptable quartz converts light & vibrations into understandable sounds & visuals, humans & quartz are ubiquitous on earth but not in the galaxy this is Quartz yr.

Super Seven, a.k.a. Melody Stone, to help my ascension. It's traditionally amethyst, clear quartz, smoky quartz, cacoxenite, rutile, goethite, and lepidocrocite. So you can make it by piling those stones together in its absence.

Or any seven you find super!

Lepidocrocite is a red oxide which, as seen here, coats quartz crystals like rust and, when concentrated, forms a large, dark, burgundy-coloured rosette.

Lepidocrocite:
- An iron oxide-hydroxide
- Forms from the weathering of iron minerals
- The name comes from the Greek words "lipis" (scale) and "krokis" (fibre)
- Was first discovered in 1813 in Moravia, Czech Republic #minerals
Masses of tiny deep-red plates on goethite. From Siegen, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. Specimen on display in the Natural History Museum, London.

A gift of Super Seven for my collection. Also known as Melody Stone or Sacred Stone, it's a rare mineral of 7 crystals in one: Amethyst, Cacoxenite, Goethite, Lepidocrocite, Rutile, Smokey Quartz & Quartz (in which all the others are naturally encased in). Found only in one small area of Brazil.

No poker tonite?? Well then, let’s do something mindful
Blue Kyanite; calm, balance, soothing, stops negativity, communication, logical thinking
Lepidocrocite; calm, healing, balance, harmony, transformation

Though kyanite is used in the arts, hematite is the most important pigment left standing, & vital to millennia of art history so easily wins the art vote. Red ochre, earth, Venetian red, mars red & English red. A stable, rich, vibrant red in cave paintings through contemporary paintings! #MinCup25
An image of a cave painting and analysis of pigments used. There’s a rotund beige horse outlined in black from the Lascaux caves, and a collection of squares of browns and black labelled with the mineral pigment used to produce these colours at Lascaux. 6 squares are due to Goethite in umbers and browns. 2 dark browns from Hematite. Black from magnetite. 5 brown squares from: Lepidocrocite, Akaganeite, Maghemite, Feroxyhyte, Ferrihydrite and Fe(III) hydroxy-Sulfate. Kyanite is a naturally occurring aluminum silicate mineral that typically forms as bladed crystals, and occasionally it occurs as radiating masses of crystals. The name kyanite is derived from the Greek word kyanos which means “blue.” Gem quality kyanite has a royal blue color similar to fine sapphire. This material is highly prized by those who cut gemstones. Kyanite can be cut en cabochon, faceted, or fashioned into beads, however its variability in hardness and color zoning can make it difficult to fashion and facet. Transparent intense blue kyanite is beautiful and is considered to be an exotic gemstone because it is not often seen in jewelry. Kyanite is predominately found in shades of blue and green, but it can also be yellow, white and orange. This 5.87ct gem is an intense deep blue color and the largest and finest kyanite from Nepal in the National Gem Collection. Smithsonian Museum" Johannes Vermeer, Girl With a Pearl Earring ca 1665 Medium: Oil Support: Canvas Size: 44.5 cm x 39 cm Art period: Baroque Mauritshuis, The Hague Painting This is the famous painting of the young Dutch woman in gold jacket with white collar, gold and blue turban with large pearl earrings looking over her shoulder at the viewer, against a near-black background. “Vermeer, Girl with a Pearl Earring is an exceptional example of Vermeer’s genius, it is a portrait of an unknown girl or maybe a generalized female head (called a ‘tronie’ in Netherlands). The pigment analysis revealed a limited palette consisting of red, brown and yellow ochre, natural ultramarine, indigo, lead white, and the rare yellow pigment weld (luteoline).” Red ochre is hematite.

Haüyne, formed in magma chambers, is pretty, blue & can fluoresce. But electrically conductive iron-ore hematite is an absolute giant of art history, used as red ochre, going back at least 164,000 years to Pinnacle Point Caves! Also called Venetian, mars or English red.

Wheelock gives the following description of this painting on the website of the National Gallery of Art in Washington (1): “Rembrandt painted, drew, and etched so many self-portraits in his lifetime that changes in his appearance invite us to gauge his moods by comparing one image to another. Such a biographical reading is encouraged by the way in which the artist confronts the viewer directly. Rembrandt painted this self-portrait in 1659, after he had suffered financial failure despite so many years of success.” “The light that so effectively illuminates the head also accents Rembrandt’s left shoulder and, to a lesser extent, his broadly executed clasped hands. Rembrandt’s pose was inspired by Raphael’s famous portrait of Balthasar Castiglione, which had appeared in an auction in Amsterdam in 1639. Following Raphael’s prototype, Rembrandt used the pose, costume, and expression to present himself as a learned painter.” “ https://colourlex.com/project/rembrandt-self-portrait/ Ring in platinum with 2.48 ct. cushion cobalt blue spinel, 0.06 ct. t.w. hauyne, 0.28 ct. t.w.

Inventory number: NG6420 Titian’s depiction of the dramatic story of Actaeon who surprised the goddess Diana at her bath in the forest. Diana was furious at this intrusion into her privacy and transformed him into a stag which was then killed by his own dogs. This is one of the series of ‘poesie’ paintings with mythological subjects painted for King Philip II of Spain. Inspired by Ovid’s Metamorphoses, they are among Titian’s most admired works. Titian employed an extensively wide palette of nearly all pigments known in the Renaissance such as carmine cochineal, vermilion, red lead, natural ultramarine, smalt, verdigris, ochres, and lead-tin yellow, possibly even orpiment, and realgar.” This includes hematite used as a pigment.
