Dino does cabochons

Finally, after two years, I finished piecing my redneck cabbing station together in my garage. I tested it out today.

Did a strombolite triangle. Also practiced with some scraps of whatever that green stone is. I don't know. I can't take a decent photo to save my life.

I've been making cabochons since I was a child, when highly skilled lapidary people in the local gem and mineral club thought it'd be a good idea to let a young child near machinery*. 20-ish years later, I have fulfilled my dream of having my own Genie machine and work station so I can make cabs whenever I want, right at home. This is one of my favorite things to do ever and I am so stoked.

**At least they didn't let me use a trim saw or slab saw until I was a teen?

if you're okay with big fusions, could you do a fusion of Tugtupite+Rosasite+Carletonite+Light Cream Pearl+Amethyst Lace Agate+Axinite+2 Legrandites?

Sure thing! :D

CHAPTER 44

THE JOURNEY ENDED

This is the final conclusion of a narrative which will be probably disbelieved even by people who are astonished at nothing. I am, however, armed at all points against human incredulity.

We were kindly received by the Strombolite fishermen, who treated us as shipwrecked travelers. They gave us clothes and food. After a delay of forty-eight hours, on the 30th of September a little vessel took us to Messina, where a few days of delightful and complete repose restored us to ourselves.

On Friday, the 4th of October, we embarked in the Volturne, one of the postal packets of the Imperial Messageries of France; and three days later we landed at Marseilles, having no other care on our minds but that of our precious but erratic compass. This inexplicable circumstance tormented me terribly. On the 9th of October, in the evening, we reached Hamburg.

What was the astonishment of Martha, what the joy of Gretchen! I will not attempt to define it.

"Now then, Harry, that you really are a hero," she said, "there is no reason why you should ever leave me again."

I looked at her. She was weeping tears of joy.

I leave it to be imagined if the return of Professor Hardwigg made or did not make a sensation in Hamburg. Thanks to the indiscretion of Martha, the news of his departure for the interior of the earth had been spread over the whole world.

No one would believe it—and when they saw him come back in safety they believed it all the less.

But the presence of Hans and many stray scraps of information by degrees modified public opinion.

Then my uncle became a great man and I the nephew of a great man, which, at all events, is something. Hamburg gave a festival in our honor. A public meeting of the Johanneum Institution was held, at which the Professor related the whole story of his adventures, omitting only the facts in connection with the compass.

That same day he deposited in the archives of the town the document he had found written by Saknussemm, and he expressed his great regret that circumstances, stronger than his will, did not allow him to follow the Icelandic traveler's track into the very centre of the earth. He was modest in his glory, but his reputation only increased.

So much honor necessarily created for him many envious enemies. Of course they existed, and as his theories, supported by certain facts, contradicted the system of science upon the question of central heat, he maintained his own views both with pen and speech against the learned of every country. Although I still believe in the theory of central heat, I confess that certain circumstances, hitherto very ill defined, may modify the laws of such natural phenomena.

At the moment when these questions were being discussed with interest, my uncle received a rude shock—one that he felt very much. Hans, despite everything he could say to the contrary, quitted Hamburg; the man to whom we owed so much would not allow us to pay our deep debt of gratitude. He was taken with nostalgia; a love for his Icelandic home.

"Farval," said he, one day, and with this one short word of adieu, he started for Reykjavik, which he soon reached in safety.

We were deeply attached to our brave eider-duck hunter. His absence will never cause him to be forgotten by those whose lives he saved, and I hope, at some not distant day, to see him again.

To conclude, I may say that our journey into the interior of the earth created an enormous sensation throughout the civilized world. It was translated and printed in many languages. All the leading journals published extracts from it, which were commentated, discussed, attacked, and supported with equal animation by those who believed in its episodes, and by those who were utterly incredulous.

Wonderful! My uncle enjoyed during his lifetime all the glory he deserved; and he was even offered a large sum of money, by Mr. Barnum, to exhibit himself in the United States; while I am credibly informed by a traveler that he is to be seen in waxwork at Madame Tussaud's!

But one care preyed upon his mind, a care which rendered him very unhappy. One fact remained inexplicable—that of the compass. For a learned man to be baffled by such an inexplicable phenomenon was very aggravating. But Heaven was merciful, and in the end my uncle was happy.

One day, while he put some minerals belonging to his collection in order, I fell upon the famous compass and examined it keenly.

For six months it had lain unnoticed and untouched.

I looked at it with curiosity, which soon became surprise. I gave a loud cry. The Professor, who was at hand, soon joined me.

"What is the matter?" he cried.

"The compass!"

"What then?"

"Why its needle points to the south and not to the north."

"My dear boy, you must be dreaming."

"I am not dreaming. See—the poles are changed."

"Changed!"

My uncle put on his spectacles, examined the instrument, and leaped with joy, shaking the whole house.

A clear light fell upon our minds.

"Here it is!" he cried, as soon as he had recovered the use of his speech, "after we had once passed Cape Saknussemm, the needle of this compass pointed to the southward instead of the northward."

"Evidently."

"Our error is now easily explained. But to what phenomenon do we owe this alteration in the needle?"

"Nothing more simple."

"Explain yourself, my boy. I am on thorns."

"During the storm, upon the Central Sea, the ball of fire which made a magnet of the iron in our raft, turned our compass topsy-turvy."

"Ah!" cried the Professor, with a loud and ringing laugh, "it was a trick of that inexplicable electricity."

From that hour my uncle was the happiest of learned men, and I the happiest of ordinary mortals. For my pretty Virland girl, abdicating her position as ward, took her place in the house in the Konigstrasse in the double quality of niece and wife.

We need scarcely mention that her uncle was the illustrious Professor Hardwigg, corresponding member of all the scientific, geographical, mineralogical, and geological societies of the five parts of the globe.

End of the Voyage Extraordinaire

My child Strombolite!  go nuts @itstanzaniteuniverse

[spooky-somewhere]

old Steven Universe au thingy

gem AU (not the SU au but like kinda? they're their own stand alone gems) for Craig and Those Guys

Also I might come up with designs for these soon.

--

Craig Tucker: Blue Lace Agate

Blue Lace is a gem that is commonly associated with calm, gentleness and making others less anxious. it's described as "helping those who can't communicate,  have difficulty being heard by others, or "who need confidence and articulation to share their truths." It's a 7 on the MOHS scale, making him relatively strong, noble gem

He'd be very good at fusing with smaller, skinnier gems like Tweek, if he so chooses to do, which he doesn't do often. (permafusion with Tweek, maybe?)

He'd be part of Blue's court, formally being somewhat involved with (but not belonging to) Pink.

--

Clyde Donovan: Lepidolite

Lepidolite is a healing gem often used for the grieving of the loss of a family member, loved one, or close friend. It is arguably the second most popular gem for this use, following behind Rose Quartz. The color is a splotchy purple-pink, which by itself means royalty. That could allude to Clyde being a brat sometimes, maybe? Anyways, he's a 2.4 on the MOHS scale, which is relatively soft. He wouldn't rank very high.

He'd be somewhat compatible with Token, but wouldn't really have much of a need or want to fuse with someone else.

He'd be part of Blue's court.

--

Jimmy Valmer: Strombolite

Strombolite, despite sounding like a food, is a healing gem for good spirits and humor. It has a darker purple tone. The stone is supposed to help you stay grounded while also remaining joyful. It's a 5 on the MOHS scale, so it's neither too hard nor soft, just like Jimmy, who is neither too kind (like Butters) or too mean (like Cartman.) He fits somewhere in the middle.

He wouldn't be great at fusing due to him never using his legs (as a gem he might be constantly floating on something) so he'd need someone experienced, like Craig or Kenny, to show him how, but he'd be a fucking tank in a fusion.

He'd be part of Yellow's court.

--

Token Black: Dalmation Jasper

Dalmation Jasper is like the mom you never had in a stone. The gem helps you when you're sad and protects you when you're under attack. I don't think I need to spell out how that connects to Token.

He'd probably like to fuse, and have fun fusing every now and again, but he would be alright at it.

He's part of Yellow's court, formally part of Pink's court.

--

Tweek Tweak: Apophyllite

This gem is very tightly tied with breaking addictions and pinpointing the destructive qualities. Tweek specifically would probably be a damaged or chipped gem with a 4.3 on the MOHS scale.

Hed only fuse with Craig and Craig only. he wouldn't understand why, but Craig would make him feel comfortable and everyone else would make him anxious. (possible abandonment issues?)

He's part of White Diamond's court.

--

Other Shit:

Stan's Gang would agree with their cause, whatever that is, but they pretend like they don't like them because Craig's a dick. Kenny thinks they're all kinda hot, though.

Craig and Tweek aren't in the same court. Tweek is a small, scrawny maid for White Diamond and Craig is a noble guard for Blue Diamond. They both met by temporarily serving Pink Diamond.

Token, Clyde, and Jimmy tried all fusing once, but it all just kinda failed.

Craig probably shapeshifts a dick on to himself, taking after either Kenny or Stan. Can't choose who.

Stan and Kyle still call themselves Super Best Friends, even when they're saving the universe or whatever.

Craig and Tweek have never officially said they're in a relationship, but everyone addresses them as "Creek" when talking about them both at the same time.

Jimmy totally ships Tyde. Like, hardcore ships it.

Clyde is interested in human intercourse, going so far as to bring it up during a conversation with the squad.

Tweek is super gay. Like, super gay.

Some people genuinely think Craig and Tweek are both humans because of how normal their clothes seem when they start living on Earth (probably somewhere near Colorado) until they turn around and Tweek probably gives it away.

Clyde's first fusion attempt is the token/jimmy thing.

They all stan Style, but they lowkey make fun of Kyle whenever he does something accidentally gay with anyone i.e. accidentally flirting with Kenny.

Cartman is a total bigot towards Pink Diamond's court, which Kyle and Token just so happen to have some relation to.

We know gems manipulate light. Do you know or suggest any gems that specialize in manipulating shadows?

Typically people tend to go for black-colored gems so I will too haha but I'll try to give you some uncommon choices and some that I think just look nice!

Shungite Ilvaite Hypersthene Arfvedsonite Nuummite Gneiss Siegenite Manjiroite Zhamanshinite/Tekite Wodginite Vulcanite Neptunite Sperrylite Vivianite Uraninite Skutterudite Tremolite Psilomelane Bronzite Tennantite Tantalite Strombolite Romanechite Manganite

Hey! Is it alright if I got some general advice on what a you think Spurrite OC would be like? I already have one but I'm not too sure if I'm all that happy with her. Thank you!

*spurrite/strombolite added to gem resource*

Optimistic and humorous to the strongest degree, Spurrite always has a joke or uplifting comment for the occasion! This gem may always look for the silver lining or bright side of a situation, no matter how minuscule it may be; if they can’t find it, Spurrite may compensate with humor. Other gems may take this as them not taking the situation seriously, but as far as Spurrite’s concerned, this is their method of showing they take it seriously- or maybe they don’t, and humor is their coping mechanism.

Given it’s also a gem of believing all things are for good cause in the Divine plan, Spurrite likely is heavily dependent upon higher powers, such as Homeworld, to make everything work out for the best in the end. Maybe it could be faith in a higher power than Homeworld or the Crystal Gems that seems to work out for them for the most part- how fragile that faith may be is up to you.
