🟣 Amethyst is a variety of quartz, which is the second-most common mineral on Earth. But what distinguishes the quartz varieties? The size of their crystals and the causes of their different colors. Amethyst ranges from pale purple to dark violet.
💎 But wait, there’s more! An alternative birthstone for the month of February is jasper. Find your birthstone, and so much more, in the Museum’s Mignone Halls of Gems and Minerals.
@tealy-tiel has caused me a major brain overload over toh characters into the universe of tlok. Just think about it—Amon as Belos. Titans being the equivalent of lion turtles. The vibes are absolutely perfect.
Drawing Belos in the Legend of Korra art style turned out to be more challenging than I anticipated. However, I'm really pleased with how the outfit turned out in the end :)

i really love Marivia and Leona’s bond and scenes together in DS:CUTE, so naturally i want their ancestors to interact too!! plus their redesigns just look cute together (*´∇`*)
We hope you’re having a gem of a weekend! Today’s Exhibit of the Day is a dazzling elbaite (variety: rubellite with quartz). In the late 1800s, gem-bearing pegmatites like this example were discovered in Southern California. What are pegmatites? They’re a special kind of rock formed by magma, characterized by large, occasionally enormous, interlocking crystals—sometimes of unusual minerals containing rare elements.
Large crystals typically mean that magma cooled slowly, allowing the crystals to grow for a long time. But pegmatites are rule-breakers—and are one of the most consistently puzzling aspects of geology. Special circumstances, particularly enrichment in H2O, allow them to solidify rapidly, sometimes in just a few days. Spot this beauty at the Museum’s Halls of Gems and Minerals!
Another request! ^^
