First Mineral Monday of the new year!! I love the natural artistry of this scolecite (a mineral in the zeolite group). The careful balance of the three crystal clusters is gorgeous!!

Got a spicy specimen this
#MineralMonday
! The tabular green crystal is Zeunerite which is altering to Metazeunerite. Zeunerite contains copper, uranium, and arsenic so it is both radioactive and toxic!

Howdy everyone! Thank you for the large number of you who decided to follow! I am a fluffy thing that collects weird little rocks and dabbles in lapidary work. To start things off, here's some Tuperssuatsiaite in Natrolite from the Aris Quarries in Namibia.

It has been a long and tough competition this year, and both rhodochrosite and kyanite are deserving of the crown. However, my vote is for my favorite mineral rhodochrosite. I am rooting for you
