#wavellite is an aluminium basic phosphate mineral.
Distinct crystals are rare, and it normally occurs as translucent green radial or spherical clusters.

Its cute, but it's going down.
Betroydal wavellite with some split crystals to show the radiating lime pattern these stones have. A lime is a very good reference for the inside, while a green cheese puff describes the whole crystal. This is a rectangular carrier rock with wavellite clustered in the center left A close up of wavellite with a more blue/Grey coloration on the ends with a pop of lime green in the center. The radial crystals are truly very pretty, with the spokes of this mineral clearly defined. Absolutely gorgeous. A large wavellite crystal sits on a carrier rock with a cluster of betroydal pale green lumps under the striking main crystal. This looks like an owl eye with an iris, a pupil, and an outer cornea all in lime green and separated by rings. The deep green/black in the center is a striking contrast. Some unbroken betroydal crystals of wavelite to show it as a whole, as opposed to the cross sections before. Lumpy circular shape, with carrier rock at the bottom and the lime green nodules of wavellite above.

Today's ROTD is Wavelite!

Wavellite is a hydrated aluminum phosphate, a phosphate mineral that typically occurs as translucent, greenish, globular masses in crevices in aluminous metamorphic rocks, limonite phosphate-rock deposits, and in hydrothermal veins.

Radial crystals hide under the spheres!
Typical wavelite from Arizona. Palm sized hunk of the material, which is unique in that the radial crystals form into a sphere, making the actual crystal structure hidden until the sphere is broken open. Near the bottom is evidence of the low quality metamorphic nature (doesn't mix well essentially) with black and orange inclusions throughout. It's likely limonite for the black and orange inclusions. Shape is roughly that of an anatomic heart from this angle. Turned 45 degrees, the outside of the spheres appears almost fuzzy, which is not how it feels. There are several split spheres on the top hinting at the radial crystals, and the limonite inclusions almost present as a lichen in the cracks. The piece is not uniform, and from this angle is football shaped. The spheres on the surface are numerous and vary from light green to an almost grey green. In the bottom left of this photo the radial crystals are very visible. These form on 2 sides from a center point and are tightly packed spears of the material. In the radial crystals the color varies from light to dark, and it's not easy to see in the photo the actual shift here. From this angle the bottom of the crystal swoops upwards to the left, while it has a more direct upswing to the right. Very little of the included material is visible from this angle and the green color lacks the vibrant neon lime that is actually present on the piece, but difficult to photograph. Final 15 degree turn presents the reverse of the face from the second photo, still roughly football shaped, however this photo will highlight the green color shift from light to dark, and the radial crystal in the center of the piece, while small, really shows the lime, white, green, grey color shift that is present on the pieces. Very lightweight, despite its complexity, this is a great value rock for your collection, but watch out for price gougers.

#ROTD #MinCup24 R3 M2
#Dioptase v #Wavellite
This is the big one folks. Battle of the greens.
#Dioptase is known as the desert emerald and is maybe my favorite mineral. Possibly the best copper secondary, and deserves a WIN

#Wavelite is cute.

#vote #dioptase

Dioptase on shattukite, oblong piece, blue on the underside, green on the top. Incredible coloration. The copper blue of the shattukite shines underneath the brilliant green of the dioptase. Pictures do not do this stone justice Circular wavelite with its half a lime core. Lines move to the edge radiating from the center Adding another gorgeous piece of dioptase because my baby deserves a win

Today's ROTD MinCup2024 ⚒️🧪
Is Wavelite v Durangite
Wavelite is aluminophosphate and normally occurs as translucent green radial or spherical clusters.
Durangite is an orange-red mineral consisting of a fluoride & arsenate of sodium & aluminum.
For #teampoison fans
www.mineralcup.org/2024/vote/r1...
Radiating rings of green and light green with almost spoke like striations dominate the center of the piece, and betroydal clusters are present underneath this very large radial crystals the green varies from very deep green in the center to a lighter ring of green. This is then bordered by a yellow green ring and then chifts back to forest green shifting to light to the rim of light green. This is a dual radial crystal of wavelite that has a lime green center on both crystals radiatingnout to dark green with bands of light and dark on the outer edges. This is 2 circular crystals joined inn the center above betroydal wavelite. These tabular orange crystals are typical of durangite. This piece has a multitude of rectangular orange crystals stacked on each other in an interesting configuration that almost seems haphazard. Gorgeous orange and white dominate the color scheme. With the white as almost a lite dusting on the surface of the durnagite. This specimin is the same type of tabular crystals as the previous picture, but have a much deeper red color and the configuration almost seems like the crystals were growing in a spiral.

Seriously, #Wavelite is confused. It can't even write it's chemical structure just one way. It's both Al3(PO4)2(OH)3·5H2O and Al3(PO4)2(OH,F)3·5H2O.

So, cool crystal, but we're going to back away from this hot mess that lacks easy-to-find industrial uses & is too soft for most jewelry usage.

Enjoy #Lughnasadh and #Lammas 💚🌿 Some have a wealth of bounty, and some have near to nothing. Let's take time to feel gratitude for all we have and let us share if we can.

Radial spokes of #Wavelite hypnotizing ... NO! I see what you're doing there, you corundum conqueror.

Vote #Dioptase due to its cool copper connection, importance in ancient art & unlikely crystallization history. Also, it's just so gorram green & gorgeous! #MinCup24

Having no pref between #Wavelite & #Durangite in #MinCup24, I’m leaning towards the rare beauty of Durangite since it’s named for Durango, Mexico & calls to mind the character “Durango” that Deanna Troi (Marina Sirtis) played in the Star Trek TNG ep “A Fistful of Datas.” Best reason I can think of!

Issue 1 of The Wavelite Saga is up on Globalcomix! This is my love letter to Shonen manga. Growing up in a small mountain town, there weren't a lot of people who "got" manga/anime. We felt like rebels against the world & it was special. IYKYK
I hope you enjoy.

#Wavellite is a more unusual gemstone, a soft translucent green mineral. The crystals form as bubbly crusts, precipitating in watery cracks, and even as stalactites. Its radiating spheres can form fascinating starbursts or cats-eyes when the glittery clusters are broken open. It, too, can fluoresce

Yes through my tears too, to face the next Mineral Cup match I will also likely lose on. I’ve had one choice out of these #MinCup25 candidates won. I can’t imagine what will happen for #Wavelite or #Diotase but at least I own specimens of each. Dioptase is arguably prettier, so there’s that.

If it’s not AI, we’re playing “Is it cake?”

But for a similar real-life rich, you might like wavelite.
