First heart shape I saw down at the Tucson shows, and it is a slice from a giant geode, not even amethyst crystals. This was outside lining the gallery at Mineral City. Large enough and heavy enough it needed an ironwork stand. It was raised up to eye level. Last geode post on “theme” for today. ❤️

Last geode post on “theme” for today coming up… #Heart #ValentinesDay #Crystals #Tucson #Specimen #Geode #Amethyst #Calcite

Here’s another #Heart geode, this one a type of classic geode where the interior space is filled with crystals AND there is a delightful added mineral crystal form to these amethyst geodes, often calcite. This piece was likely pricy and on the top shelf. The lighting made it very attractive. Only one more #ValentinesDay geode to share and that will be later. It’s NOT amethyst! #Crystals #Tucson #Specimen #Geode #Amethyst #Calcite

We’re here! One entrance line from ramp parking. Sooo many people from around the world. So many ages too! #Chalcedony #Specimen #Mineral #Crystals #Tucson #TucsonGemMineralShow

Ah, another grape chalcedony specimen! I’m celebrating because in half an hour we are setting off on another rockin’ day adventure. To the world’s largest gem and mineral show, Tucson.

This is the first convention center showcase I’ve been to in about 6 years. And when I saw “we”, my son John agreed to come which means Drew gets to come too, with his wheelchair. So, a family adventure today, our “day-cation” 118 miles south. To do this, we have to have both I and John push Drew and wangle the 3 of us around thousands of people in the enormous center. We leave very early in hopes we can score accessible parking. This is EPIC!

[EN] 我是死鸟入殓师 Working with dead birds in Singapore | The Healer (1/3)

“目前，新加坡只有我一个人在为死去的鸟类制作标本。” 2019年，当时还在攻读博士学位的郑雁予，主动接下了负责亡鸟热线的责任。从此，她的手机几乎从不关机，即便是在深夜收到公众发来的通报，她也总是第一时间回复。 2025年，亡鸟热线共收到约650起通报，平均每周超过10起。据郑雁予透露，大部分的死亡原因是撞击建筑物。 走进《疗伤的人》，看郑雁予如何将逝去的飞鸟，制成不朽的生命。 *视频包含鸟类尸体及标本制作过程，可能引起部分观众不适。 Note: English subtitles are auto-generated. #birds #specimen #鸟 #动物 #museum --- 立即加入《联合早报》Telegram和WhatsApp频道，获取即时新闻推送，方便掌握最新消息。 Telegram： WhatsApp： 关注我们 Follow us: zaobao.sg FB：…

GoH-994: SpecImEn / 73

SpecImEn's trademark speech-based sleazy harsh noise eruptions versus 73's storming, rainy field recording ambient noise walling. One of those splits, where both sides complete each other while being fundamentally different.

New Fossil Species Becomes Local Dish Before Academic Paper

A new species' bones became hometown tax gifts before classification. When researchers requested specimens, the town said: 'Sorry, sold out.'

#email #authentication #spf #specimen #spoof

As I try to find a job, I got email from apparent recruiter and I feel something is odd. So I want to authenticate the email.

The address is like no-reply@example.com

Headers show it was received from
smtp.email.us-phoenix.ocs.oraclecloud.com

With IP address: 192.184.11.189

From what I read in RFC, I think the A, MX, and SPF records are a no match, but I'm no pro nor expert. I value input. Got records on PNG below
