Duet to it sorosilicates! 🏝️🏝️ This subclass of silicate minerals includes the massive epidote group, which includes zoisites like the semi-precious gemstone tanzanite. Other exciting sorosilicates are hemimorphite, vesuvianite, and pumpellyite - an important crystal for determining conditions of growth (like temperature and pressure). Next up, the cyclosilicates!
All specimens are part of the collection @york_college_cuny . 3D model adapted from the online library of the Museum of Mineralogy and Petrography UAIC, Romania #geology #chemistry #crystals #gems #science

Come party with us as we celebrate our beautiful pearl of a planet on its special day 😌

Touch rocks with me! Did you know NYC has over a billion years of history in its rock record?
This trip was organized by the Geological Society of America and led by structural and metamorphic rock experts (Jaret et al., GSA field guide, 2026)
For more reading on how we know the ages of these rocks, check out Jaret et al., GSA Bulletin, 2023)

Come see our monthly show at @caveatnyc or stream from wherever you are (show info & 🎟🎟 in bio!)
Facts Machine is a science comedy show (and science trivia showdown!) by and for people who are curious about everything — but especially the things that make them laugh!
We’ll be joined by scientists and comedians to share the stories behind our favorite facts, conduct scientific experiments (i.e. play drinking games), and conclude with a pub-style trivia quiz “loosely inspired” by that show’s theme.
🌋 Turkeys, scorpions, and lava, oh my! 🌋
