Treasures from the silk road! These vintage Banjara embellished coin medallions have been given new life as earrings.

I have long been inspired by the rustic metalwork of the nomadic Banjara and Kuchi tribes-- the original masters of creative re-use and colour and texture juxtaposition, using what you have to make something new and beautiful.

Congratulations #stibnite! Your acicular dark-metallic crystals and dramatic flare have taken the day. Farewell #howlite. Your eerie bone-white, black-veined masses may have scared some voters.

#MinCup24 R2M3: #Howlite versus #Stibnite

Howlite is an opaque bone-white mineral marbled with black veins and a massive habit that earns it the nickname “white tourquise.” Soft, dark stibnite has a flare for the dramatic as kohl, an eyeliner used starting in 3000 BCE.

#MinCup24 whewellite vs howlite. I've voted #howlite, for #Iona and #Boron, but whewellite is named after Cambridge boffin and wordsmith William Whewell, who coined a large number of terms now in widespread use, including "scientist" which he created while reviewing the work of Scottish mathematician and polymath Mary Somerville, superseding the traditional "man of science". #WilliamWhewell #MarySomerville #Scientist

Screenshot of Wikipedia page about Willima Whewell:

"One of Whewell's greatest gifts to science was his word-smithing. He corresponded with many in his field and helped them come up with neologisms for their discoveries. Whewell coined, among other terms, scientist,[2] physicist, linguistics, consilience, catastrophism, uniformitarianism, and astigmatism; [3] he suggested to Michael Faraday the terms electrode, ion, dielectric, anode, and cathode."

#MinCup24 the oxalate mineral whewellite, vs the borate mineral howlite... I'm going for howlite: it's not found in Scotland, BUT some of the finest crystals come from Iona, on Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia: one of the places where Gàidhlig is still widely spoken. A very nice description of the locality here :https://djoyceminerals.com/collecting-howlite-in-nova-scotia/ #Geology #Mineralogy #Iona #Gàidhlig #howlite

This is an interesting matchup because #howlite is considered a basic of rock collecting - in the massive form, anyway. I would now commit blood sacrifices for an teeny crystal form howlite. (Look, mindat's picture was pretty and then I noticed it had a scale and the specimen is so SMOLLLLL.)

But #whewellite is ... I'm not sure I understand the science right but a hydrated acid salt? That interestingly seems to make it being an oxalate less alarming than if it was oxalic acid... that detour aside!, it got my vote just because it got me more curious about it. And made me look up more things.

Besides, the fact that scientifically, "salt" is more than just Na tickles me as someone who regularly downs loads of Na (gotta love that dysautonomic life). 😂
