#Rhodochrosite #Malachite #MeatAndTwoVeg #Veg #Vegetable #Crystal #Rock #Minerals #Forbidden

Dioptase and malachite by Louis Verschuren. From Tsumeb in Namibia. It looks like deep emerald crystals having Forbidden Broccoli growing over the top right side.

Something that looks like a slice of some quiche or pie the Brits favour, with the golden brown crust visible more on the right and top of it. Inside it there is as if either the dioptase teal green vegetable filling, or someone having made Forbidden Jelly marmalade of dioptase, and stuffed that inside the pie crust instead. Mmm, pie. Cronch pie.

Broccoli-ish looking green Dioptase from Renéville Mine, Kindanba District, Republic of the Congo. Saved from some Singaporean Etsy page.

Rhodochrosite or manganese carbonate that looks like a tiny smoked ham. Browned crust otherwise and sliced bit on the left showing the red meat inside. It's a lot like the crust of the forbidden pie in the previous images.

From Sarah A. Hill's Yummy Rocks page, but she didn't know its source either.

Crown Emerald Copper, Desert Queen Dioptase!

Please vote for the pyroelectric, HOT desert mama! It's so amazing it can look like moss but is electric if you heat it up 😲

So, did someone call #electric #Mosstodon? The most arid deserts in the world have none, but grow moss-like dioptase to make up for it. The world's amazing, so spread the love & vote!
Forbidden #broccoli or green #cauliflower?

Dioptase was first mistaken to be emerald and gets its colour and toxicity from copper. Hence, Emerald Copper and Desert Emerald nicknames! Although it's toxic - no licking! 😅 - the vivid green tones make it great for healing & the heart. 💚💎🧡

Here's some different mossy shapes to spot in different photos, if you want to look toward the ground instead of what you see in clouds! Thanks for voting!

Dioptase looking like forbidden broccoli or green cauliflower in close-up, or just plain moss on a rock. Enchanting Earth LLC image-51-dioptase_600x.

Please vote for dioptase as it has been rising in the cup every year, and deserves to be crowned queen. Let's get it through to the final round! Tugtupite is in its first year, and is nice as well, so I'd love to see it another year as well. Once dioptase wins, I can finally campaign the hardest for something else, heh.

Dioptase with emerandine again looking like a moss layer on a rock.

This one seems to have as if an angel-like winged shape in the middle, for more blessings to Ye Olde MinCup. Or something to remind you of dioptase's use in art, which has often depicted angels and so much more else.

There are 9000 year old statues with eyes coloured with dioptase pigment out there! Al-Ghaizan statues, some bicephalic, two-headed weirdoes you gotta love just as much as human creativity. :D

It's honestly amazing, so please tell everyone and get votes in for this contender!

Here again with emerandine, the "rock moss" covered piece here may somewhat resemble a horse or a pony rearing its head up at the top right, galloping feet or legs formed against the shadows under the "stomach". If you squint, or use your imagination.

Same moss-like appearance, with a grey road seen in the distance behind it. Dioptase can also look a lot like moss with malachite.

It's just a little guy!

A somewhat fish- or dolphin nose shaped bit at the top left, it's an earthier looking rock otherwise, with the brown base seen before already. This one has emerandine and dioptase but it looks even more like mossy patches and miniature plants on the ground here. Colours range from the deeper, cooler or bluer green on the right to lighter, earthy greens in the middle, with a more brownish tone to the "head" of the fish.

There are bits that look further like tiny grass or moss mixed in even on the entire moss rock itself.

Beautiful #Azurite on #Malachite with serious color, luster, contrast, and focal crystal aesthetics.

@Kaetchi I am not very knowledgeable about the Congo Copper Belt. Congo has very old copper-rich rocks (the Katanga Supergroup, 700-800 million year-old sediments). Malachite forms when underground water rich in CO2 reacts with existing copper minerals. Congo has not been glaciated for a long time, so that shallow-formed malachite is still preserved.

Others who know more may pipe up or correct what I've written.

#CopperbeltProvince #Congo #Copper #Malachite

#Azurite can form in the oxidized supergene zone of copper-rich rocks. More carbon dioxide favors azurite over #malachite. Our atmosphere doesn't have enough CO2 (yet) to stabilize azurite, but malachite at the surface persists kinetically rather than convert to black copper oxide. Sulfur and other species can modify these relations.

Hence copper roofs weather to green, not blue!

A phase diagram showing the relationship between pH, partial pressure of CO2, and the stability of the copper phases tenorite (CuO), malachite, and azurite.

Both axes are on a log scale, with the dashed line showing the present-day CO2 partial pressure of the atmosphere (400 ppm).
