I love contact aureoles. I could watch these rocks for days.

Finally, to end my post spam, a sweet, comforting hug shared by Gossan and Hornfels.

I heard he was horny for hornfels.
Hornfels is a fine-grained compact rock rock formed by contact metamorphism (low pressure, high temperature) It is a slab of medium orange.

Hornfels doesn’t know much about it yet, just that it’s crazy old and super tough. I wonder why the Nomai carved it?

Should this be a #ThinSectionThursday or a #FridayFold ? 🤔

Feldspar runs forward, arms outstretched and a wide grin on their face, towards Gossan, who also running forward towards Feldspar with their arms outstretched but looks like they're about to cry. Gossan runs straight into Feldspar, throwing their arms around them for a desperate hug. Both of them laugh as Gossan starts tearing up. Feldspar looks up from the hug to see Slate also running towards them with a laugh. Slate throws their arms around Feldspar and Gossan with a laugh. Hornfels quickly runs towards them as well, bawling unconsolably at the fact that Feldspar is home. Hornfels, still crying, bends down to hug Feldspar around Gossan and Slate. Feldspar, who is now starting to drown under all the arms, starts patting Hornfels on the back. Esker runs up as well with their arms outstretched.

The contact between #granite and host rock in my thin section! 😍

Lower-left: monzogranite,
Center to upper-right: pelitic hornfels (derived from a marl).

The mineralogy of the metapelite is biotite + plagioclase + Ca-amphibole + quartz

@spacemange.bsky.social's Yooperlite with Hornfels, who is trying so desperately to praise them through the pleasure 🤭

#outerwilds #art #nsfw #porn #praisekink #aliens
Yoopie, a large, strongman-built Hearthian with heavy scarring and a tadpole-style tail, fucks Hornfels in upright missionary position. Hornfels is saying, "S-suh-so good for - for me - ah!", visibly lost in pleasure with their ears and hands trembling and their probe throbbing upward and dripping.

Wait.... a comet? 😂

⚒️☺️
An aggregate of quartz grains associated with crystals of a mineral I had to ID (possibly sillimanite) in a metamorphosed hornfels rock, that oddly looks like a comet, as seen under the microscope.

Meet Basalt! Did you know that it makes up much of the moon? In our upcoming board game, its besties are hornfels and greenstone!

So my theory is that I've found a contact aureole. I'm relatively sure that the beach has Quartzite, Adinole, Hornfels, and some Skarn. 😊🪨❤️

All sorts of metamorphic shenanigans in the gorgeous garnet-biotite hornfels from Belhelvie, near Aberdeen, Scotland #ThinSectionThursday ⚒️🧪
Cross polarised light view of large garnet porphyroblasts with large biotite and quartz inclusions at their cores and rims of smaller inclusions of the same minerals near its edge, in a matrix of quartz, biotite, spinel and rare plagioclase. Pressure shadows lead to distinct concentration of biotite between porphyroblasts.

A hornfels quarry in KwaZulu‑Natal and a basalt workshop in the Jordan Valley show that spatial division of labor, long‑term planning, and cumulative culture are not modern inventions but Pleistocene facts long predating our evolution as Homo sapiens sapiens:
