Geodes!

Just recently I went with a group on a rockhounding excursion to find...

Geodes! With baited breath, we battered through a collected handful of potentially crystaline rock shells. With a crack, the rock splintered asunder!

Sparkly, secretive and magical, this rock forms near ancient riverbeds and lavaflows. A hard shell forms around a pocket of air. Over time, crystals grow in that space.

Our second success was somehow full of water? Perhaps some leaked in through a crack. There’s a blue, riverish tint to this stone, which I find fitting C:

For those wondering, “what does the water from inside a geode taste like?” never fear. We cracked the geode and passed it around. Then a member of our party immediately licked it

Turns out the answer is “bad.”

We had great luck! Once you identify the light, circular, lumpy exterior, it’s easier than you’d think to identify a geode. In the Dugaway Geode Beds, quartz is so abundant that you’re likely to find something that glimmers without even cracking a stone

The bluish tint might make this celestite or angelite, I’m not sure which. And below, a troll tooth.

At the location, there was also a fair amount of this reddish stone- probably not a jasper, but I couldn’t help but take some home to test :>

Oh guys. GUESS WHAT!

OOIDS!!!! Those whitish circles clumped together on the inside are called ooids, a darn fun word to say that literally means “egg shaped.” Little balls of calcite precipitate out of shallow, calcium-rich marine environments and accumulate into ooidic structures. 

Aren’t they ADORABLE??? Egg shaped, my beloved

Thanks for listening! Can’t wait to tell you all about my next adventure. Alright, now, everybody gather up for the group photo. Say “ancient marine envrionment!”

got the lava farm started and got all the iron smelted. i still have like three stacks of iron lol, and there's probably still some more but tbh i already have 20 (!!) stacks of tuff i have nfi what to do with now so. i dug down to -55 and started my diamond mining. got 7 already, which i'm going to put into an enchanter once i get a cow farm set up and grab some leather for books.

i also found one (1) additional geode. which makes five (5!) in the vicinity of my base. o.o i haven't mined any out yet, i've just been noting down coords. but i stg i have never found so many in one small space before wtaf. D:

#minecraft builds #java solo world #have a furnace room #with a lava farm #aww yeah #i feel like this seed #wants me to build with amethyst and calcite #and deepslate #but i refuse #i have other aesthetic plans #sorry to the five geodes that spawned in caves where i'm basing #:/ #villa hekatea

calcite, growing like unruly teeth in creases between the neat bricks of dolomite

and also some fossils.

The "Navajún" pyrites are pyrites that are extracted from a quarry that is not exploited for the industry, but is used to satisfy mineral collectors and decoration, having given the world of mineralogy the best cubic pyrite crystals in the world and the largest. The deposit is located in the Sierra de Alcarama, in the Cervera region, in La Rioja, Spain; and it was discovered in the 1960s, in an area of ​​marl that covered these cubic pyrite crystals, although gypsum, chlorite and manganese mineral crystals have also been found in the deposit. The piece in question is spectacular and shows a perfect cubic pyrite crystal on a marl matrix worthy of any collector. A spectacular piece.

Hey, geology Tumblr, I found you a gift.

(Please do not fuck the gift.)

Greetings!

If I may ask, what delineates an interesting natural find in the woods or river and a find that is a gift from a spirit?

How does one tell the difference?

I often find hagstones, calcite, and quartz geodes in just about every waterway I've come into contact with (albeit, nearly always after asking) and while I would love to believe that I've somehow interacted with the local water spirits, there always lingers a doubt within me that maybe I'm just lucky, or good at spotting patterns and I don't realize it. I a similar fashion, as of late, I've been stumbling upon whole, pristinely preserved white snail shells during my wanderings in the woods (again, usually after being struck by a sudden urge to move a specific pile of leaves, picking up trash, or being moved to place a different shiny in a specific location). It just strikes me as strange and wondrous that such things seem to happen in this manner for me, and I'd honestly like to know if my experiences are mere chance or if they are encounters with the Other.

On this note, what can one do with a surplus of hagstones and what are the uses of stump/tree hollow water? I recently "discovered" such a hollow in a tree I've frequented many times before but somehow never noticed the hollow in the trunk. I feel I'm supposed to collect water from it for something, but I'm not sure what.

Thank you again for your time!

That's a good question, though it can't exactly be satisfying answered in a one-size-fits-all sort of way.

For me, personally, I generally tend to consider something a Spirit Gift if it comes to me one of four ways.

The first is when I explicitly ask my Spirit Kith for help locating something and then end up discovering it within a reasonably swift window of time following my entreaty.

Secondly, I will sometimes find something I've been looking for in a particularly strange place or especially well-timed way, and it's hard to overlook those cases, even if I didn't specifically entreat a numinous entity for assistance.

Thirdly, I occasionally find something entirely by chance that I wasn't actively looking for, but which is so striking or unusual to find that I suspect that "hand" of the spirit world.

Finally, sometimes I'll find something without thinking much about it, only to discover later that this item is exactly what I need for a given ritual or magical operation.

As the circumstances I listed above descend in order from 1 to 4, it becomes less clear whether something is definitely a spirit gift or not. But in the end, I often choose to simply view it as such with gratitude, and leave offerings to cover my bases. In situations where it does prove important to know whether I've really gained the attention of a spirit or not, I use divination to clarify

As for your last additional questions: There is plenty you can do with a surplus of hagstones; you could incorporate into spellwork, you could use them to make amulets, you could gift them to others, or you could simply collect them. And I actually have articles on my website that talk about both Stump Water and Hollow Water.
