**Repaired specimen

 

These unusual geodes from Morocco are like small caves lined with stalactites, botryoidal forms, and swirling agate patterns. While commonly called red chalcedony, I find the color is more orange to red-orange. Hematite causes this coloration, but later phases of growth (“second generation”) don’t contain hematite inclusions. This creates a colorless-to-white growth over the orange chalcedony, which can produce a soft orange-cream druzy coating, or bold Halloween patterns of orange and white stripey stalactites.

This piece of a geode has fat, rounded stalactites with sugary fibrous parallel-growth quartz coating the surface. Spheres of white quartz sprinkle the surface, and there is a large amorphous blob of white radial-growth quartz in the upper right corner. Since chalcedony and quartz are closely related you often see them grow together. They have the same chemical composition (silica) but different crystal structure (cryptocrystalline vs. crystalline).

Where stalactites have broken you can see a pinpoint of a dark, metallic, mineral at the core, surrounded by orange chalcedony, then translucent white chalcedony. The broken ends of stalactites reveal a curiosity: some are hollow, apparently dissolved away. Another is tipped with metallic radial growth.

This specimen has been inexpertly repaired from at least three pieces. The pieces were not reset evenly so cracks may be offset or have wide gaps in places. Dirt was used to "hide" visible glue in the crack near the center of the specimen (you can see the impressions where bubbles have burst from the glue in picture 8). 

 

Repaired: This specimen has been repaired, meaning it broke but someone recompiled and glued it back together. These Moroccan geodes are frequently recompiled and glued together—but this is infrequently disclosed :( Read more about how to detect repairs.

I don't know how often breaks occur due to rough techniques in mining or cracking the geodes open, but I suspect many of the breaks are natural based on how few intact pieces I have ever seen. I have observed many of these geodes have a fairly thin, brittle crust which may make them susceptible to fracturing as part of normal geological processes. I have also seen examples where it appeared iron staining had leaked through the breaks, indicating the cracks occurred well before the specimen was mined.

The Best Way to Keep My Skin Happy Under the Sun
I am so happy that I found this special white cream because it is the best helper for my face and arms when I am playing outside in the big bright sun. I keep the bottle right near my sink so I can put it on before I go out to play, and it is very easy to use because the cream feels very smooth and soft like butter when I rub it on my skin. Sometimes other white creams feel very chalky or yucky like flour, but this one is a great deal for the price because it blends in so well and it does not leave a big white ghost face on me once I rub it in. It feels very simple and clean on my skin and it does not have a scary or strong smell, which makes me very happy because it does not feel greasy or oily like a piece of pizza. Even when I put more on later in the day, it does not clog up my skin or feel heavy like a thick blanket, so it is a wonderful value because I can use it all day long and stay comfortable. The tube is a perfect size to throw in my backpack or my travel bag when we go on a trip, and it feels very strong and tough like it will last a long time without the cap breaking off. It is a very practical and smart tool for my skin because it forms a strong layer that I can see at first to make sure I am safe, and it feels much better and more dependable than thin lotions that disappear too fast. I think everyone who likes to be outdoors should get this because it is durable, it works perfectly to keep me safe, and it is so simple and easy to use that it never gets in the way of my fun!

Comfortable to Wear and Easy to Use Every Day
The texture was the first thing I felt. First application feels rather rich but unexpectedly distributes easily throughout the skin. I was worried it would feel heavy, but it blended in more readily than I thought and didn’t leave my skin feeling too oily afterwards. I love that you can use it on the body and face too. One product for the entire family is easier and saves room when packing for trips or holidays. I have used it on myself and my kids when we go out and it has been comfy for all of us to wear. Another thing I appreciate is my skin feels hydrated after using it. Love things that make my mornings easier on hectic mornings. The mixture is smooth and pleasant to wear all day long and does not feel sticky. The container is functional and simple to throw in a beach bag or handbag. I have brought it to soccer games, trips to the playground, family picnics and it has been no problem.

Less cast and the zinc scent is mild.
I use sunscreen regularly. One of the aspects I do not like is the white cast I get from zinc-based SPFs. This one is zinc-based but it has tallow and PDRN. I want to see if they make any difference when it comes application and feel. MY EXPERIENCE WITH THE PRODUCT 1. I received Mystic Orchard’s beef tallow sunscreen with PDRN. Comparing its value, I think the volume is pretty good. I received 2.8 ounces. 2. When it comes to scent, I smell the metallic scent but it is not as bad as the one I have been using for swimming. It is there, but pretty faint. 3. You can tell by the sheen that it is zinc-based. It has the same consistency. 4. What I noticed though is that the white cast is not too bad. It blends fast with the tallow. 5. I like tallows because they contain fat-soluble vitamins like vitamin E for some antioxidants. 6. The cica is nice too for those who need a calming ingredient with their sunscreen. 7. I think this would be good for when going out. I do not think I will be using it for swimming since it is mild in scent and cast. Better to use it elsewhere than just for swimming. OVERALL IMPRESSION: I think that this SPF sunscreen with tallow and PDRN is cost-effective and worth its value if you want a zinc-based sunscreen with less cast and milder scent.

Moisturizing Sunscreen
Size: 2.82 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
The grass-fed tallow base makes it deeply moisturizing—it feels like a nourishing balm. The PDRN complex is a nice bonus for repair.
