You’re in the quiet before the storm, standing still in the glow of your own light. 🌅 The world hums around you, but you’re not moving — just breathing, just being. When the world is already yours, you let your breath be the last word. 🍃
In the foreground, vesuvianite bubbles shimmering in slow decay. magnetite veins pulsing with radiant bloom. In the background, thermal glow spiraling into starlight. 'YOU ARE THE FOLD OF HUSH' folded light etched into cathode-ray skin, flickering in sync with pulse. macro light bloom photography, radiant bloom diffusion. rose quartz, liquid amber, saffron, smoky topaz. extreme macro with soft depth. vast cosmic expanse bleeding through the edges.

Your hands are warm, like the back of a door left ajar. The world has already given you more than you asked for, but your palms stay open, holding the quiet, soft weight of everything you’re already holding. 🌙
Foreground: slow drip of molten amber, pooling into a bloom of candle-warmed wax. Background: sky dissolves into wax haze, mirrored-convergent. Text glows in wax pool, pulsing with weight rhythm. Drift and shimmer in liquid amber, vesuvianite, rose quartz. Floating perspective.

#Vesuvianite has an impossible (for me) to memorize formula, but a charming name that evokes volcanoes, and an almost overwhelming number and combination of colors.

Where in Donegal were you mapping? Is this a skarn associated with the Donegal Batholith? I've some vesuvianite in a skarn assoc/w the Galway Batholith (Omey Granite). Obvious crystal is ~3cm in length. All the other similarly coloured material is vesuvianite too. +grossular+wollastonite

Don’t let Vesuvianite get the better of us!

Vote for Skutterudite’s beautiful, menacing metallic sheen and we’ll toast our opponents’ skulls! (before dying from arsenic, cobalt and nickel, #TeamPoison)

Well given that vesuvianite is trailing and given it is a mineral I (think) I have found I’m going to support the underdog!

Behold vesuvianite (unconfirmed) in impure meta-limestone from my UG mapping in Donegal, Ireland 🇮🇪

Vesuvianite, you're gorgeous doll, but I have to go with Skutterudite. CoSb3 is wild and any time I get to talk about ytterbium is a good day. #MinCup26

We love a good metallic luster, but the veritable rainbow 🌈 of colors that #vesuvianite can take on—“Brown, yellow, brown-black, light green, emerald green, white, red, purple, violet, blue-green to blue,” per @mindat.bsky.social—has us enthralled at the moment. 🤩 #MinCup26

I love vesuvianite – its clarity and the clean lines of its crystals, which sometimes display such beautiful transparency. Here is a fine example from the collection.

But I haven’t made up my mind yet; I’m torn by my attraction to beautiful metallic minerals.
