November babies: topaz is one of your birthstones. Weighing ~600 lbs (272 kg), this tremendous topaz is one of the largest single crystals of topaz in any museum in the world! It's just one example of how large crystals in pegmatites can grow.

Slickensides are shear planes that develop under the pressure of swelling in the subsoil of soils rich in montmorillonite clays. Wonderful examples here 👇🏻

@Subsolum @WRB2022 The Fluvisol is an educated estimate indeed @Subsolum. Stratification in sediments is not visible to the eye 👁️ indeed. Good point thanks. But it may (probably will) have erratic carbon content with depth qualifying for fluvic material. Yet, to be sure we need the data

This video illustrates the "levante" phenomenon on the Rock of Gibraltar. The "levante" is an east wind carrying moisture from the Mediterranean. When it encounters the rock's steep terrain, it rises, cools, and condenses, creating clouds, mist, and fog.
