Almost done setting up for the first day of the Palace Theater Holiday Market, and I am SO happy with how my new indoor booth set-up turned out! ✨ It was an absolute pain to set up, but it was worth it. 😁 #blackfriday #holidaymarket #smallbusiness #smallartist

Thomsonite is an all-time MN classic! ✨ It's a rare zeolite mineral that (like most cool rocks) is the product of volcanic activity. 🌋 This variety started to form over 600 million years ago and can only be found on a limited stretch of the Lake Superior shoreline. 🌊 #mineralogy #geology #thomsonite

Agates, which are a silicone dioxide microcrystalline form of quartz, can be found around the world. 🌎 One of the oldest known minerals, they hold considerable significance in several ancient histories and folklores, dating all the way back to the Stone Age. 🦣 #mineralogy #geology #agates #history

Did you know that Ocean Jasper almost became a lost treasure? In 1922, Alfred LaCroix first discovered/wrote about it in Madagascar, but he left out the specific location. He passed away and it remained a mystery until Paul Obenich rediscovered it after a 45-day search in 1999. #minerology #geology

Who doesn't love a good UV reaction? ✨🪨✨🔦👀 Yooperlite is a popular sodalite-rich syenite. It contains other minerals such as amphibole, feldspar, and pyroxene. However, the fluorescent sodalite is the star of the show, giving this mineral its famous glow. #blacklight #uvreaction #yooperlite #geology
