I’ve never been interesting in pyrite, it’s even a joke among the people I do most of my research with that pyrite is a dumb mineral to like, but this fucking show had me going to the spoil tip of an old mine to try and fucking find it after ep2, didn’t find any though but I did get some malachite.

Ruri no houseki.
Currently airing anime about a high school girl who sees a pretty piece of quartz in a shop but doesn't have enough money to buy so her mum unwisely tells her that her grandpa used to collect pieces of quarts in the local hills.
Unwisely she decides to go exploring to find her own, luckily she meets a student from the local geology course who takes her under her wing.

Also all of the girls have the bodies of fertility goddesses

>Can we manipulate wavelengths?
What do you mean by this?
>>
>>16734245
>is that how flourescent paint works too
Yes, its the same mechanism.
>manipulate wavelengths
There are a variety of phosphors so you can get different colors depending on what substance you're using. But in general you can do this with other substances as well and have objects that re emitt incident light at a different wavelength, its a principle that some lasers operate on when they pass their light through certain crystals.

>treat fluorite so it fluoresces in different wavelengths
No, because its caused by the impurities in the crystal. If you wanted different wavelengths of light, the impurities would have to be different. I guess if you implant quantum dots into a crystal it might work and you might have different wavelengths of light based on the angle, but that's beyond my chem knowledge.

What I mean is that there's a power law distribution that means that small geodes are far more common than big ones, but there's nothing in principle that prevents a large geode from forming and eventually getting exposed to the open air like any other cave.
