Can we just take a minute to appreciate the crystallization on this ammonite fossil?! It’s trippy to think that this fossil was actually a living creature at one point… 64 million years ago 😮 #doitfortheGRAM

Welcome to The Emmons Quarry (Uncle Tom Mountain Quarry) in Greenwood, Maine!
Greenwood is Known for its Abundance of Exceptional Minerals and the Mines in this Area are Just as Unique and Amazing as the Crystals that they Contain!
This Particular Quarry is a Complex Granitic Pegmatite Open-Pit Mine on a Beautiful Mountainside, Privately Owned and Not Open to the Public!
This Video Shows the Massive Rock Wall at the Quarry with Dozens of Scars from Previous Core Samples!
A Core Sample is a Cylindrical Section of a Naturally Occurring Substance, in this Case Various Sections of What is Now the Rock Wall.
Core Samples are Obtained by Drilling with Special Drills into the Different Locations Throughout the Mine with a Hollow Steel Tube called a Core Drill.
Core Analysis Gives Mine Owners the Most Accurate Insight into the Porosity, Permeability, Mineral Composition, and Provides Many Other Details as to What’s Hidden Beneath the Surface of a Given Section of the Mine!
Thanks for Watching, Stay Tuned for More Videos from This Extraordinary Locality and Northern Maine Minerals 2017 Mining Season!
Have a Great Mineral Monday and Don’t Forget to Stop by One of our Rock Shops on eBay & Etsy for our New Independence Day Crystal Clearance Sale

I remember at my reserve unit, finding books from the forties describing things like kames, kettles, eskers, drumlins, etc. with stereo pairs.
Gosh stereonets are from hell. XD I haven’t done those since I took a Mineralogy course.
I love stereo pairs! I collect them on my dA account, and here on Tumblr. I have used them both in metallography and intelligence analysis.
Can you see the 3D with your naked eyes? I can!
They are truly cool to look at! I never really liked to do them. But! I am able to see most 3D things with the naked eye. Although, it’s a skill that I definitely need to practice more.
Views of a “Chondritic Meteorite” in thin section. This is a meteorite that was polished to only about 0.03 millimeters thick, thin enough that light can travel through the rocks. It is then put on a polarizing microscope and polarized light is sent through it. That gives you a chance to see some of the minerals and textures, but there is a second step here. A geologists microscope will have a second polarizer above the sample. That second polarizer can be rotated so that only light that had its direction changed by passing through the mineral reaches the eye of the viewer. This produces an effect called Birefringence, the colors seen in these grains. Birefringence colors can be used along with mineral textures to identify rock types.
This video shows the upper polarizer being rotated, so the light goes from singly-polarized to doubly polarized and colors appear as they do it.
The spherical blobs in this sample are the chondrules. They are thought to have been blobs of rapidly melted, rapidly cooled rock that floated out in space. Eventually they were assembled into rocks on some of the early asteroids.
i love geology so much. geology is my child. u can learn so much from geology. theres chemistry and biology and history and culture and geography and cool stuff in geology. geology is superior. i vote for geology to become a higher entity and for it to rule the earth. i lo
