Guide On Buying Meteorites and Megalodon Teeth

Gemstones are, in many cases, considered perhaps the most valuable belonging an individual can have. Whether it’s an exciting stone, a semi-valuable stone, or an engineered gem, or a gemstone are consistently valued resources for anybody. Albeit these valuable minerals are staggeringly famous, individuals have hardly any familiarity with the gem ponders. For the most part, customers and gems fans get them in light of their appearance and size. Rather than purchasing gemstones from the nearby shops, you can likewise search for genuine gemstone online.

 About The Megalodon Tooth

Megalodon teeth diminish to a combination of parts. Like all shark species, Megalodons reliably shed worn teeth throughout their lifetimes. Like this, little Megalodon's teeth are more average. The goliath Megalodon tooth is 7-8 inches, which is uncommonly enthralling. Megalodon teeth are pursued, considering that they're fossilized and come from a critical creature that got out a long time back, for the most part.

When you find Fossil Megalodon teeth for sale, you don't have the foggiest idea of whether it is valid. Unfortunately, with the free eye, it may be endeavoring to pick if a Megalodon tooth has been reestablished or fixed. This is particularly clear if an expert finishes the work. The most un-complex strategy for testing to recuperate the tooth's perfect is to utilize a UV or great light. Astounding clean will shine, while dull spots show fix. The paste used for fixes will focus under the light, making it recognizable. There are different methods for testing the credibility of your Megalodon tooth; like a hot needle or soul, they could hurt a reestablished or fixed tooth, so we don't propose it.

To Sum It Up

Pearl Correspondences & Uses in Witchcraft

In ancient Chinese culture, pearls were used in artwork, folktales, and charms to represent wishes, fortunes, gratitude, and even the moon:

Marquis of Sui’s Pearl, a gemstone in a folktale dating back to the Warring States period (475-221 BCE), is given to a leader, Sui, from an injured snake that he nurses back to health, as a symbol of gratitude.

In Hindu and Buddhist traditions, The Chintamani (equivalent to the importance of The Philosopher’s Stone in alchemy) is known as a wish-fulfilling jewel that is sometimes depicted as a pearl.

In Chinese artwork, dragons may be seen holding or playing with a “flaming pearl” – in this context, some believe the pearl may be representative of “an object of great value that enhances the benign dragon who treasures it”, however it is more commonly (especially in Westerners) believed to be a cosmological symbol of the moon – in fact, there is an ancient belief that full moons are solid pearls, while new moons are hollow pearls.

In holistic circles, pearl powder is also known to help you with longevity, beauty, bone-health, among many other (non-FDA approved) benefits – and in Ayurvedic medicine, pearl is said to be an antidote for poison, and it was also used in love potions.

Knowing the traditional symbolism of pearls in Chinese and Eastern cultures, as well as its (supposed) medical benefits and Ayurvedic uses, we can create our own Correspondences for Utilizing Pearls in Witchcraft:

The Moon

The inner/subconscious-self

Wishes

Gratitude

Abundance

Love

Beauty

Longevity, good health

Pisces, cancer

Hidden knowledge

Uses for pearls (or pearl powder) in modern witchcraft:

Use pearl powder as highlighter in makeup for an easy glamor-spell

Mix with salt and other herbs associated with abundance to make “money-salt” for money spells

Add whole pearls or sprinkle pearl powder in your money bowl

Blow pearl powder onto your front door at the beginning of each month to bring abundance to your home

Write down a secret or something you want to get off your chest, and bury it with a pearl to keep it ‘hidden away’ from others

Make a wish with a pearl by leaving it out in a rainstorm, or dropping it into a natural body of water (pond, lake, etc).

Offerings to sea-related or beauty-realted deities

Fun pearl facts:

Genuine pearls (and pearl powder) doesn’t burn! Pearls may discolor, but they shouldn’t go up in flames.

Pearls are made as oysters try to protect themselves from irritants or parasites – they add layers and layers of this ‘pearl’ coating to intruders, and viola!

Pearls are the only gemstone that come from a living creature

Pearls come in many colors

Pearls are obtained from oyster farming – which is actually beneficial to the environment! Additionally, pearls can be harvested without killing oysters.

Be careful when shopping for pearls – many places do not sell genuine pearls and they may be fake. Use caution when looking to purchase!

[justanotherbirdbrain-blog]

may i receive your rant on why every videogame ever chooses to have columnar basalt in places basalt should not be, like in unsuspecting caves or just dotting beaches with no volcano in sight... because god, that gets me going.

Let me preface this rant by saying, I love when videogames at least try, like I can look at a rock and actually say, "hey that's columnar basalt and not *generic rock texture*" (Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's texture shortened my lifespan). So generally speaking, if I can tell at least vaguely that someone googled photos of rocks when creating a game I am more happy than not, but!

My GOODNESS! I think I could extend this rant to just videogame cave systems in general! Like, caves are only formed in limestones and marbles (And some limey sandstones and salt deposits), BUT for some reason we are mining and finding Rubies? Emeralds? Metals? These caves they are depicting are clearly just supposed to be these natural caves and not abandoned mines, which would give them some leeway to put whatever desirable gemstone or ore they wanted in the game, but they don't choose that for some reason, and it is beyond me why!

And can we talk about how all of these caves got there in the first place? Like limestone only forms in marine environments! Are you telling me that the entire continent you designed was underwater to the extent to have a spiraling cave system forming at least every ten miles of trail explored (Skyrim I am looking at you)? And how acidic is your rain? Are we experiencing an industrial evolution? I CANNOT, also in what situation are these random massive quartz crystals in otherwise fine-grained material forming? Like one, Who would actually leave that laying there? No one. And two, how is this forming? Like are you trying to say this formed after the cave was created or what? If that's the case the more likely mineral would be calcite or gypsum.

My little bird brain can't wrap my head around what they are trying to do here! (The second image is from ESO and I give it a lot of lenience and to be fair they are trying to depict these are geodes that are surrounded by a massive basalt but they are also showing stalactites and stalagmites which aren't in basalts so it still gets points docked).

But yes! Seeing inaccurate geology, columnar basalts included can take you out of a game so fast, same with the imaginary ores that are kind of based off real metals. I think I would be more ok with completely fake names, because then at least I wouldn't have anything to associate it with.

That being said! I will end this rant by pointing out videogames that when either I was playing or my fiancé was playing I was pleasantly surprised by the geology/accurate textures.

ESO- elder scrolls online, I know I just docked it points above, but genuinely they do an amazing job depicting different rock types to the point that on their islands they have limestones. with. fossils. I nearly cried. Of course they still have random metal seems everywhere but it is an MMO and resources are necessary so I can ignore that as long as they keep making accurate landscapes.

Titanfall- I will just add an image because it will speak volumes

like does that shale/siltstone have ripple marks in the middle right hand side? beautiful. amazing. perfect. chief's kiss. (Apex also does a decent job which is a battle royale game that takes place after the Titanfall games, the textures aren't as good obviously but you can definitely tell what kind of rocks are at each map)

3. Horizon Zero Dawn- the graphics in this game are just genuinely impeccable and it takes place in the US but after the collapse of civilization. In a lot of ways, I think it made it a bit easier for the designers, but they still did an amazing job depicting the rocks accurately! I believe there is a Youtube video which compares the actual locations to the videogame locations.

some obviously tilted sedimentary rocks

sandstone arches

@cosmic-tuna please add more games if you know any!

Girl I was going to buy earrings for myself that literally I swear to god looked HEAVENLY. They were black and had these dangly opal gemstones that changed colour. Like, these were some serious once in a lifetime earrings. I told my mother and she took them out of my hands saying “you don’t want these” (love her, she had saw them previously whilst browsing and wanted to buy me them for christmas). I didn’t say anything cause I got the hint… and on the way home I said “wow I can’t believe we both knew that I’d love those earrings” and she went uh-oh.

We spent ages looking through her bags but they weren’t there 😭😭 She had forgotten them in the bottom of her basket. I had a look online and I couldn���t find them AT ALL! No doubt the next time I go back to that city they’re not going to be there (as I hid something behind something earlier and went back and it was gone).

I genuinely feel like crying and I know that’s so petty but I take my jewellery seriously and I would’ve worn them until either I died, or they broke 😭😭

Wait no I get it 😭 that sucks

15 Questions tag game

The rules are: Answer the 15 questions and tag 15 of your mutuals.

Tagged by @echoghost1 , ty Echo!! :D

1. Are you named after anyone? 

Ohh okay so this one is kinda fun because I technically am on four counts! My legal first and middle names both came from two different people ( one a famous author, the other my great great great ( great? I think it’s 4 ) aunt. The other two counts come from chosen names! while I’m not positive how much raven counts ( chosen at 13 because of raven teen titans haha ), Alva is another name I chose for myself that came from an ancestor on my moms side

2. When was the last time you cried? 

Last week? I think? Shit’s been kinda stressful all of a sudden

3. Do you have kids?

I babysat a couple of kids for a few months when I was like 18-ish and worked a job that had a daycare room, and I absolutely adored them to the point my mom started referring to them as my kids, but I am neither a legal guardian nor still in contact since the place went out of business so I’m gonna have to answer no to that one

4. What sports do you play/have played? 

Ohh man okay i don’t think I’ve done any sports since I was like. 10 years old, max. I briefly did soccer, and then basic ballet and tap lessons; I had a couple group recitals, but never advanced past flats, and honestly did not retain even muscle memory on anything

5. Do you use sarcasm?

I can’t because I’m the kind of awkward that struggles with tone inflection and quick wit so when I try people always think I’m serious 😔 

6. What's the first thing you notice about people? 

Something that can be complimented, generally.

Like, one of the things I do as someone with a customer facing job, is actively look for things to complement people on, for a multitude of reasons. It’s def not some kind of a requirement for my position, but more just that I like to break up the basic check-out process a little by finding something that I can genuinely appreciate ( which, the more I’ve done this the wider an appreciation of people’s personal style preferences I’ve had in general ) and communicating to them I like it, which never fails to brighten up an interaction.

It’s honestly really great too, because people often like to share the story behind the things I compliment, and I love to hear those stories, so it’s a good balance I think!

7. What's your eye color? 

I’ve always been told they’re brown but I’m like 98% certain they’re actually hazel? But the definitions of hazel I see are very, well, hazy tbh, and I’m afraid to commit to being 100% certain lmao

8. Scary movies or Happy endings? 

I like both BUT the happy endings I’d really like to have a lot of toil and angst and maybe a lil tragedy first—I want that happy ending to have blood stains that are over time bleached away by sunlight, but forever imprinted onto the fabric

9. Any talents? 

Idk if I’d describe myself as talented in any manner, but that’s mostly because I prefer to think in terms of skill-set over natural talent

That said, I have never formally—or informally really, for that matter—studied gemstones, but I can recognize and name a decent number of them on sight relatively easily, and have ID’d multiple pieces of tanzanite jewelry first try ( something where every individual, all unrelated, who was wearing said jewelry have said I’m the first person to not only think it was something other than sapphire, but to also know instantly. All I can really offer as to how I know is “its just the way it is” because ig the color and shine differences aren’t as easily noticeable to everyone else? ). It’s a side effect of having a detail focused mind that I’m honestly really proud of

10. Where were you born? 

Nice try sucker you’re not getting the answer to my online account security question THAT easily

11. What are your hobbies? 

Drawing

opening new tabs from my YouTube recommendations side bar for every song title that looks interesting and seeing how much new music I can find in one sitting before I get bored

finding hyper specific and sometimes rare things people I know haven’t been able to find and then buying it for them

googling the fuck out of some random ass thing that just came up in conversation until I have a bunch of new fun facts on the subject

sewing

and more!

12. Do you have any pets? 

LOTS

context: my family runs a small hobby farm, + we have our indoor pets ( only cats for indoor now ), we’ve had a variety of livestock over the years, but currently it’s just sheep and chickens for outdoor

13. How tall are you?

Just a lil over 5’5” but not quite 5’6” ( no I don’t need to be that specific but the doctor commented on it last time she took my height and damn if I won’t take the small win )

14. Favourite subject in school?

Mmmmm I’m gonna automatically disqualify art just to make this slightly more challenging for myself.. probably Astronomy? Tbh I’ve never been able to wrap my head around enough math concepts to understand a lot of science formulas, so that whole portion of it didn’t quite work out for me, but I enjoyed the fuck outta reading the textbook

15. Dream Job? 

Oh okay this one is actually really specific, but. Making an anime / cartoon style comic and / or illustrations and maybe a variety of other artwork for NASA, no this position does not exist but I want it IMMENSELY

Hooooo this got a LOT longer than I expected lmao

trying to avoid tagging mutuals I’ve already seen tagged in this one, obvi feel free to ignore if you don’t wanna do it ( we’re low stakes tagging in this household )

[ indigo ]  when did you first start writing / roleplaying?

[ plum ]  are you more of a dialogue or a description writer?

[ mulberry ]  what tips would you give someone with writer's block?

[ coral ]  give a shoutout to one of your favorite blogs.

🐝  *  ―  𝑪𝑶𝑳𝑶𝑼𝑹𝑭𝑼𝑳 𝑰𝑵𝑻𝑬𝑹𝑽𝑰𝑬𝑾. ( send one or more of these to get to know the person behind the blog a little better. )

(these are going to get long so i'll put a readmore to spare the dashboard lol)

[ indigo ]  when did you first start writing / roleplaying?

for writing (stories) i'd say in early middle school when i realized fanfiction was a thing. before that i just did a lot of journaling, or i'd finish a trip with family and write a long essay about everything we did on the trip. anyways when the fanfic itch hit i wrote obsessively and even titled my story journals as i finished them so i could keep them in chronological order. (like i had one named after spring, another for summer, fall, winter, etc. and then a series named after favorite gemstones x flowers). i think i filled 40+ notebooks of various sizes by high school? they're still somewhere in the basement at my parents' place probably.

then i found ff.net and realized people posted their stuff online so i tried that a bit, and when ff.net started getting dated i moved onto ao3. i don't have as much energy or drive to write the crazy crossover AUs i used to do but it's still nice to post there, or make up original short stories for fun. anyways TL;DR i'm always writing something somewhere sometime~

for RP i wanna say...early 2000s? back when forum RPs were a thing. and i don't mean the fancy kind they have now where you can custom-theme your posts, but just plain message boards where you started a topic to make "threads" and replies to that thread made up your interactions, and the rest of the board was divided up so you had locations in one place and character profiles in another, etc etc. they were everywhere and constantly opening and shutting down so i went everywhere too, lol. also signed up for this digimon PbEM RP group where they had a plotline and an all-original crest lineup but you had to make up your own digidestined and digimon and apply to join. then we'd RP on a word doc and email it to the next person in the group to get the story going. it was sooo old school but it was genuinely fun. i also applied to join a livejournal MFRP group but got rejected because my app wasn't good enough hahaha that got me a little scarred so i hid away from MFRP for awhile

(also a special bonus to the time my friends and i RPed as neopets faeries in a composition book we'd pass around in school between periods.)

for tumblr RP i think it was like 2014 or 2015 after a RP hiatus? the messageboards were dead or dying by then and heck if i was going to learn livejournal and its weird system so i joined some ancient chinese themed MFRP group with a similar chinese drama-inspired muse but that shut down within a month so i wandered around until i found a bigger more active group and stuck around there. and now i'm on and off here. :)

[ plum ]  are you more of a dialogue or a description writer?

when it comes to RP, i think i lean more towards description because i need to give context to my muse's lines. but for stories i'm more dialogue heavy, and i enjoy writing exchanges back and forth between characters.

[ mulberry ]  what tips would you give someone with writer's block?

i don't know if i'm the best person to ask but when i'm stuck on writer's block i work on a different...writing project..... you know they all have different vibes and stuff so a change of scenery gives the mind a break and stuff? it's good.

and it works because i still wanna write, i just don't want to write for Thing A so why not Thing B lol.

it also helps to find a focus, most of my writing block woes come because i don't know where/what to do next, so maybe i find a song, a pretty quote, or an icon that gives me the right "vibes" for what i want to express and think up the rest of the post from that.

it also helps to have a smaller goal to work towards even if you don't know how the ending will turn out. for example, if in a thread my A is interacting with your B and i think to myself "well according to what i've read in B's app he'd prolly hate A and think him a prick, so it'd be interesting if A gets a chance to showcase his prick side in this thread eventually," then i'd insert stuff into my replies to gradually make A more annoying and play off what B replies to work towards that "goal."

of course since RP is directed by both sides those mini-goals sometimes get sidetracked, but then it's fun to see in what new direction we take the interaction instead haha

[ coral ]  give a shoutout to one of your favorite blogs.

i can’t stress enough how helpful quotes/musings blogs are for like aesthetics or muse inspirations for me and the nice thing is most of them are still around even if they haven’t updated in years so HERE HAVE THIS POST WITH LINKS TO A BUNCH MORE GREAT MUSINGS POSTS BLOGS

Howdy Everybody, and welcome to the Key-Holder Society! 🗝️✨

My name is Avery, I’m 27 y/o and I’m an Artist, Jewelry Designer, & Small Business Owner 👋🏼

My brand specializes in creating/designing intentional, handmade jewelry made with quality, hypoallergenic metals (ex. 304 Stainless Steel aka Surgical Steel & 925 Sterling Silver) and genuine healing crystals/gemstones. Hand-crafted with intention in small batches, my pieces are made to support the energetic goals and intentions of the wearer(s) and often feature ✨Single Edition Pieces✨ and Limited Collections that share a common design element which makes them that much more unique and truly One-of-a-Kind.

Established in 2022, Key-Holder Designs has just under ❗️500❗️sales on record (we keep track, at this stage, in our Instagram bio @keyholderdesigns which y’all are more than welcome to check out and follow, if you’re interested 🫶🏼) and we’ve recently begun to establish our presence on various online platforms to (hopefully 🤞🏼) engage with a wider audience and expand the community that I so proudly refer to as

“The Key-Holder Society 🗝️✨”.

(more on this subject, later 😉)

Due to our status as a relatively new brand/business, I’m still navigating the process of carving out and sometimes even discovering our style niche and common practices (aka “House Codes”, for my fellow fashionistas and couture enthusiasts 💅🏼🛍️) and will periodically update the community on the matter, as we explore and identify the brand’s signature styles. For right now though, I chose to approach my business’s current status as a Green Label with enthusiasm because it ultimately means that this chapter of our story contains a wide variety of designs, pieces, and styles that showcase the versatility and limitless inspiration behind our vision.

Current aesthetics in the shop at this time could be considered as:

• Luxury Minimalist

• Dark Academia

• Bohemian [Boho]; ranging from Rustic/Hippie to Witchy, Festival-Ready Styles.

• Eclectic, Vintage-Inspired Victorian-era Designs.

• Cottagecore/Faeriecore

But not even I know what the future holds for us 🔮🗝️. As a fiercely intuitive artist and practitioner, I want to make it clear to you, my dear new friends, that everything you see here is a product of my intuition acting as my highest guide. The first year and a half of operations brought so many challenges, lessons, & victories but if Key-Holder Designs is to reach our highest potential?

Besties, there is SO MUCH MORE to come 🙌🏼

So stay tuned for where the journey takes us next and please feel free to join me for the ride 🎢 🚙 😎

We’re all just humble Key-Holders, after all, searching for the next locked door 🚪.

What does fake amethyst cluster look like how we identified?

Crystalwellness Online Store Australia: A fake amethyst cluster may have several visual cues that can help identify it. Here are some characteristics to look out for when determining if an amethyst cluster is genuine or fake:

Color: Natural amethyst clusters typically have a range of purple hues, from pale lavender to deep violet. Be wary of clusters that have an unnaturally vibrant or uniform color, as this may indicate that they are synthetic or artificially enhanced.

Transparency: Genuine amethyst clusters often have a transparent to translucent appearance, allowing you to see through the crystal formations. Fake amethyst clusters may lack this transparency, appearing cloudy or opaque instead.

Crystal Structure: Amethyst clusters are composed of individual crystals that grow together, forming a cluster-like structure. Authentic clusters will have distinct, well-formed crystals with defined terminations (tips) and various sizes. In contrast, fake amethyst clusters might have uniform or irregular crystal shapes, lacking the natural variations seen in genuine specimens.

Growth Patterns: Look closely at the growth patterns of the crystals within the cluster. Natural amethyst crystals typically grow in six-sided prismatic shapes with pyramid-like terminations. Fake clusters may have crystals that lack this natural growth pattern, appearing more irregular or uniform in shape.

Surface Texture: Real amethyst clusters often have a rough and uneven surface texture, with individual crystals exhibiting natural imperfections and irregularities. Fake clusters may have a perfectly smooth or overly polished surface, indicating artificial manipulation.

Weight and Density: While not easily determined visually, the weight and density of a cluster can provide additional clues. Authentic amethyst clusters are relatively heavy due to the presence of quartz, the mineral that makes up amethyst. Fake clusters made from materials like glass or resin may be noticeably lighter.

Price and Source: Unusually low prices or sellers with questionable reputations can also be indicators of a fake amethyst cluster. Genuine amethyst clusters are relatively valuable, and prices are generally reflective of their quality and rarity.

It's important to note that these characteristics should be considered in combination rather than individually. If you have doubts about the authenticity of an amethyst cluster, it is recommended to consult with an expert gemologist or visit a reputable gemstone dealer for further evaluation.
