Considering #MohsScale of Hardness, how hard has been your week? 😅 Our answer to that is #Corundum! 🔝 😮‍💨 This hard #ScoopofMineral is used to grind 👓 glass and in the production of sandpaper. #GeologicDelight #TheGeologyProject #Geology #Minerals #SciArt #GeologyArt

Here’s a scoop of one of the most common #minerals🍦👏🏼 You may also know it for its variations like Amethyst, Agate, Jasper or Citrine. #Quartz is the #7 in the Mohs scale and it can be found in all types of rocks & environments!🌋🏝🌎 🤯#GeologyArt #GeoArt

#Orthoclase is the new flavor added to our 🍨assortment! This #mineral is commonly used in glass & ceramics🍶. Since it is #6 in #MohsScale, it’s possible to scratch it with a 🔪, a glass plate or a steel nail. #ScoopofMineral #GeologicDelight #Geology #SciArt #GeologyArt

Fluorescent minerals glow in neon colors when exposed to ultraviolet light ~ and speaking of scoops 🤓🍧📖 we know this because Fluorite was the first mineral to be observed with this characteristic. The name “fluorescence" derives from the name "fluorite"

Here’s a scoop of the mineral "Apatite", to calm your appetite 😂🥁. It’s used as a gemstone & it’s the most important mineral in the rock “phosphorite”, which is used to produce fertilizers.

¿Sabes cuál es la diferencia entre #hipocentro y #epicentro?

El hipocentro es el punto de origen de un #terremoto y el epicentro es el punto en la superficie donde se proyectó ese terremoto.

Did you know that ice is considered a mineral? 👀 Like all minerals, ice is naturally occurring 🏔🌨❄️, has an organized atomic structure of atoms and a specific chemical formula (H2O) 🧊.
