First part of a commission, Edward Little on pegmatite. An artefact from a lost expedition. Hard to capture on photo, but the iridescent specks shine through the frost

Gemmy orange spessartine (Mn2+3Al2(SiO4)3) on white albite (Na(AlSi3O8)). From Little Three Mine, Ramona, Ramona Mining District, San Diego County, California, USA. Dimensions: 6 cm x 5 cm x 4 cm. Probably dates to the 1970s.  Spessartine from the Little Three Mine combines sharpness, color, and luster to be some of the best in the world.  
Best trivia about the mine:
In 1905, a 150 lb topaz-elbaite specimen was recovered from the main dike.  The spectacular specimen was on display at the San Diego Chamber of Commerce for years until it was moved to the new Natural History Museum. During WWII the US Navy took over the museum and crated up the displays. The specimen has not been seen since and it is suspected that it was dumped into the ocean. If you find it, it’s worth a lot.

Some exciting airport geology, migmatite, granitic gneiss and pegmatite in the air port. These rocks show that even before modern style plate tectonics had started, the crust was already being recycled by metamorphism and melting. This stuff is about 3 -3.2 billion years old and intrudes a lot of the Kaapvaal craton and probably provided the uplift that powered the erosion of intruded rocks forming possibly the first orogenic mountains on Earth. These are the rocks that were also blasted by the Vredefort impactor 2 billion years ago. The erosion of these early mountains provided detrital sedimentary material that accumulated as the Moodies Group sedimentary rocks which I will be studying once the cores arrive in Berlin in the autumn. I will slice the ancient sandstones and mudstone up, look at it under a microscope with light and electrons, and then disolve them in acids to try and find tiny carbon shadows that represent some of the first life to inhabit our planet. Last photo is my stupid tired face. I'm in the airport bar waiting for the start of my long trek home. Its been an incredible 3 weeks of seeing things I read about in books as a kid and learned about during my undergrad. I am incredibly fortunate to do what I love for living and it's something I never take for granted. I will always be grateful to everyone who helped me get to this position. 🙂 #geologyjohnson #geology #geologyrocks #rocksofinstagram #granite #pegmatite #migmatite #metamorphism #precambrian #metamorphic #igneous #sedimentary #archean #paleoproterozoic #intrusion #volcanic #meteor #southafrica #barberton #Kaapvaal https://www.instagram.com/p/Ccdn7MoNxq3/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Felt like doing some candle and crystal magic. Each of the crystals is raw, and I find that holds a certain kind of magic.#pegmatite #obsidian #rosequartz #apophyllite #crystals https://www.instagram.com/p/CogFEFCu7bt/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

imagine tumblr using a pestle and mortar like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6n3ULiBoqBk&t=131s
the video calls it a granite mortar when that is CLEARLY a diorite or at best a granodiorite and is visibly dominated by feldspar and iron bearing phases. lol. lmao.

Watching a video for my geology class- I can't believe pegmatites are real. AND AND it isn't just a single kind of rock, no no no, it's a whole SUBCLASS of Phaneritic rocks, describing rocks that are pegmatitic, which describes rocks that have large and easily visible crystal structures. That means that in edition to being hilarious, Apotheosis happened in a land full of big crystal looking rock formations, which I think is pretty neat.

Oh my god I forgot to ever post these! Have some apotheosis drawings ^_^ most of these are from when I first started watching :D
IDs are under the cut!
[ID: A traditional drawing of Rumi. They are a slender person wearing a skin-tight muscle tank with a high collar and a triangular cut out on the chest. Their cloak, which is embroidered with intricate swirls, is hanging from their arms. They have pointed ears, the right one adorned with a crystal earring hanging from a long chain. They have jewel like horns, the left one fractured and revealing a geode-like cross-section. Their right eyebrow has two piercings and they are wearing eyeliner and lipstick. They smile towards the camera dashingly. /end ID.]

[ID: A traditional drawing of Lizard. He is channeling Exandroth’s power and flying with six wings that surround his body without being directly connected to him. His eyes lack pupils and he is surrounded by sparkles. His back is covered in spots that resemble stars and crescent moons. /end ID.]
