“Feldspars”.

Came upon it after reading about yesterday’s amazing coloured skies.

Just thought I would share.

Plagioclase, the stripy twinned badass.

Great, that’s 2 words I had to Google today! 😀

Hours of fun to be had measuring extinction angles.

Wierd things Feldspar. The most common mineral in the earth’s crust, and to the untrained eye most look like quartz and yet it isn’t nearly quite so boring as it should be. Interesting stuff.

Sesquipedalian.

Unfortunately I didn’t have to look that one up, anyone else that didn’t is either a doctor or has probably experienced an eye watering amount of pain too 😆
