石头2

接下来找到的是下图中的亚特兰蒂斯石(Atlantisite)。
这是大王特别介绍过的塔州特产矿石,有着独特的紫色斑点,属于绿色蛇纹石(Serpentine)与紫色铬锿石/铬锑镁石(Stichtite)的天然共生体。这种石头被打磨抛光了可以作为镶嵌首饰的宝石,集市里有不少摊位就有各种加工好的亚特兰蒂斯石首饰出售。同行的有几位买了耳环和项链。
不过在我眼里这种加工过的饰品属于人类一厢情愿的画蛇添足,只有毫无加工的原石才自带原始强悍的生命力(而且便宜很多,这么大一块只要五澳元)

CRYSTAL SPOTLIGHT ✨ Atlantisite (aka Tasmanite) is the name given to a powerful stone that combines Stichtite and Serpentine. Both of these crystals stimulate kundalini energy and link the crown and heart chakras together. Serpentine works to emanate healing vibrations from the heart!

Putnisite contains essential chromium - like stichtite yesterday - while julienite's vibrant blue comes not from copper, but from cobalt!
Putnisite: SrCa4Cr3+8(CO3)8SO4(OH)16 · 23H2O
Julienite: Na2[Co(SCN)4] · 8H2O
NB: SCN- is the thiocyanate anion, julienite is the only mineral known with SCN!
#MinCup26 Round 2 Match 5
It's a pair or rare, vibrant minerals with unusual chemistry as purple #Putnisite is up against blue #Julienite.

The problem with running a #MinCup26 competition at your library is sometimes you have to enter a vote contrary to what you want. I just put in my patrons' choice of #Stichtite, effectively canceling out my own vote for #Quartz. Bah humbug. (But really, I am delighted that patrons are engaging!)
September 20, 2026 at 10:06 PM
It's fascinating learning about unusual minerals like #stichtite but good 'ol #quartz is so fundamental to geology that it has my vote in #MinCup26 go #TeamQuartz!
#MinCup26 Round 2 Match 4
Both colourful yet opposite in almost every other way, it’s abundant and hard #Quartz against rare and very soft #Stichtite.

Bit late to today's #MinCup26 party - but no contest for my vote. #Stichtite has layers (like an onion, like an ogre) and is full of interesting structural points. #Quartz is just... well Quartz, nothing doing here.
September 20, 2026 at 10:19 PM
Quartz is pretty sick too but I gotta stick to my guns, so stichtite it is!!!

Reasons to vote #stichtite:
-Cool purple and green
-Suitable & beautiful carving material
-Forms around subduction zones & mid-ocean ridges which are both very interesting
-Forms from serpentine which is also very cool
-Avenge underdog asagiite's 2-vote-margin loss to quartz in round 1

C’mon people— #Quartz is the clear choice here. Stichtite: it’s not even a real mineral anyway…

RE: https://mastodon.social/@MineralCup/117300422731472297

ngl I'm voting #stichtite to get back for what happened to #asagiite (also, it's kinda cool in its own right—just like asagiite!)

Quartz is winning this by a country mile but Stichtite was misidentified and didn't even get its own name for two decades, and it has no real use except to be pretty, imagine your faves 🥹

Boy, it is hard to go for #quartz but stichtite is so not a mineral. What is this very soft thing? Not a mineral, sorry not sorry
