Mineral Swag Round 3: Imagine the Collab Between These Two
Larimar is a variety of the mineral pectolite and is often a light blue color. Most larimar is found in the Caribbean, especially the Dominican Republic, and the blue color will permanently fade with sun exposure!
Lepidolite is a purple or pink lithium-bearing mica, so it has one direction of cleavage and this beautiful lavender color. However, the lithium is not what causes these colors! Manganese causes these colors. Another mica, muscovite, is also still in the competition!
These minerals are just really pretty colors. Especially together. The light blue and lavender is a good combo. But uh, fight to the death!
This card while reversed represents seizing opportunities and focusing on the positive. If you’ve been in a rut and feel like you’re stuck in a cycle, the four of cups is calling on you to let go of self pity and regret and to take action.
Your goals are achievable, but you can’t reach them by wallowing in self pity and staying stuck in the past with regrets. The past is gone, focus on today, find your enthusiasm and self awareness and put in the work to make those positive changes for yourself no matter how small, just start, now is the right time! ✨
🌙 Selenite is a wonderful crystal for spiritual growth and mental clarity.
💜 Lepidolite heart: Four of Pentacles 💜
While upright, the four of pentacles is urging you to examine your relationship with material possessions and emotional wellness. Stability is an important facet of life, so try to prioritize being more present in your life, letting go of the past and situations you may still be holding onto that no longer serve or benefit you in a healthy manner. Security comes from within, not external relationships and material possessions. Set some boundaries for yourself and with those around you. ✨
Lepidolite is great for emotional balance and healing 💜
would you care to redraw my lepidolite? love your art
• By submitting a gem I assume you have read the rules and agreed for me to judge •
Such an absolute fun gem to draw! So cute and messy (in a good way). I appreciate someone ""daring"" to ask for this, when it comes to judging, people can be, you know-
I like the curvy, messy hair, I tried to play it on the SU style. I wasn't sure what is going on with the check things (reminded me of camouflage) and felt weird? So I turned into blush because it's just a cute thing. And while I like the yellow and pink make-up in the eyelashes, it felt like too much yellow-pink on the design so I kept it on different lineart colors haha
The cape was surprinsingly easy to sketch. I like how weird and unique it is. Had to simplify the outfit a bit but I like to think it looks neat. The shorts had the boots yeeted because I couldn't figure out a way to be happy with them. I endes up giving the cape some shading so the same 2 colors didn't stay together.
The gemstone was simplified like, a lot. I guess I'm not a fan of them (if you need a ref of the new gemstone lemme know and I'll be doing it for free).
And the colors were saturated just a bit. I'm not a fan of grey-ish palettes but I still have to kept it, it's not my gem after all. I hope you liked it after all!
I genuinely believe you have a fun design in your hands, I'd be up to stare at some more of yours if you want too! ^^
Is there anything that universally tickles the human spirit the way a cool rock does? Probably not! I just received my order off way-too-cool crystals from @bekkathyst and I love each and every one!
