Mineral Swag Round 3: ...Shiny?
Muscovite has throughout history been used as things like makeup and window panes. It is more heat resistant than normal glass so it us used as window panes in things like furnaces. Muscovite has only one direction of cleavage so it comes apart in super thin sheets that you can see through. Fun! It’s super shiny when its broken up so it is also used as glitter!!!
Pyrite is a greenish gold metallic mineral that naturally forms cubes or octahedra. Sometimes the faces of these crystals have SHOCKINGLY smooth faces, but sometimes they have striations, which are also cool, because they are an indicator of the mineral growth. Pyrite is also known as Fool's Gold and you can find it pretty much anywhere as far as gift shops and things are concerned. It's super cheap and fun and even getting a beautiful shiny little cube of pyrite is not expensive.
