Faceted Ethiopian opal. We usually associate opal with the cabochon cut, or doublets/triplets in which thin slices from veins in nodules are cemented to or between something hard and protective such as quartz. This rare piece from the Wollo area showing a brilliant display of colour has been faceted for setting, though opal is a touch on the fragile side for this purpose. Loz Image credit: Opalinda
oh my god.
i don’t understand why everyone’s so into diamonds when stones like this exist.
Crystal balls.
Guess whooo paid a visit to one of the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) research vessels last week? According to our colleagues on the boat:
Guests sometimes join MBARI expeditions, but a special kind of visitor dropped in on a recent research cruise. A stunning barn owl flew aboard the R/V Western Flyer while the Benthic Biology and Ecology Group was conducting research near Sur Ridge (about 37 kilometers west of the Big Sur coast).
The ship’s crew and researchers, who are continuing studies on the deep-sea corals and sponges that grow at Sur Ridge, were pleasantly surprised when the owl landed on the ship while it was close to the coast. The owl sat on a perch on the side of the ship and repeatedly flew away and returned. It finally flew away for good as the ship approached the shore again in the evening.

"Hello bad and naughty children, it is time to learn about demons."
“Now that we have learned about curses, it is time to learn about demons: The filthy crime boys of the spirit world.”
“It is a well known fact that all Goetic demons want to kick YOUR ass. Assert your dominance by immediately challenging them to a knife fight upon summoning them.”
“Wear astral condoms on each of your hands to protect you while you perform the ritual. No, this is very important. For extra protection, consider inflating a condom and crafting a balloon animal as an offering for your new friend. Slippery, but useful.”
“Offerings. You need offerings. You gotta… You gotta just… Just give em a piece of your dinner, ok? Give them a bone, give them some old banana peel. They love it. They LOVE it.”
“Crunch up some incense and give it a taste. It helps you see better, do you understand? Just have a crunch. Can’t hurt. Makes your breath smell good. Demons love good breath.”
“DEFINITELY do the ritual naked, extremely naked, peel off your skin and do it in your bones. Demons will appreciate the extra effort put forth, and may grant you saucy favors. ;) ”
“Worms? Worms?? I don’t see any worms? Don’t worry about the worms. Don’t look directly at the worms.”
“Remember, a firm handshake and a good slap on the ass go a long way when sealing any deal or contract. Making eye contact shows that you are serious. Eye contact is a must. Never break eye contact. Good slap on the ass. Don’t forget it.”
“Do not feed them whiskey. Makes em fighty.”
“The last and most important tip: Always pick a specific demon to blame all of your problems on. Cat got out? That’s his problem. Stub your toe? He did this. Worms? I told you not to look at the worms. Listen, I’m the best, I’m an expert, okay?”
