This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I'd love to see your images of sand, do you post them anywhere?

Lost to time and crashed hard drives.

But I did find this image of the garnet sand that would be a good example of the bottom middle picture in the post. You can make out the pink, black, and green zones and I think it looks rad.

(I tried the lemmy upload for the photo. If it doesn't work I don't know the hip new host since imgur became......imgur so let me know what i should use.)
