Last post for the moment until I find more unposted work, but a Steven Universe redraw featuring @preifever.bsky.social and I's OCs, Boleite and Reuben (Ruby) over Sapphire and Ruby's "Something Entirely New" scenes.

Diaboleite:
- A halide mineral
- Forms in manganese oxide, lead and copper oxide ores
- Was discovered in Higher Pitts Mine in Somerset, England in 1923
- Its name means "distinct from boleite" (yesterday's mineral) #minerals

On the labyrinthine crystal-chemistry of boleite, a Pb-Ag-Cu hydroxyhalide
G. Diego Gatta, et al.
doi.org/10.2138/am-2...
The H-bonding network in the structure of boleite is now unambiguously described on the basis of the neutron structural model.

First batch of the project I call my GEM ABCs which I’m currently working.
Currently gonna lost in batches of 4 once a week until I’m caught up to where this series is on Twitter.
If your curious at all check it out on Twitter or feel free to ask me about it here!

Boleite: Solitary Stargazer
Gems as they age tend start to exhibit Run-away crystal growth and they begin to grow stiff.
Within 10-20 years of this they will become indistinguishable from a giant natural crystal formation.
