I went to a museum yesterday and saw some really cool things, including lots of cool rocks. Here are the ones that caught my eye. See alt text for names.
4 squares of museum rocks. Left to right, top to bottom. Shades of grey and white. Limonite, cryptomelane, Livingstonite, and Parisite. 6 squares of museum rocks. Left to right, top to bottom. All shades of blue. Opal, chalcanthite, kröhnkite, linarite, cornetite, and diaboleite. 6 squares of museum rocks. Left to right, top to bottom. All in various shades of green. Azurite and malachite combo, malachite, microcline with amazonite and maybe smoky quartz, talc, mesolite, and atacamite. 4 squares of museum rocks. Left to right, top to bottom. Realgar, Wakayabashilite, Kamotoite, Mimetite. They’re all orange crystals and such except for Kamotoite which is yellow.
