Rainbow rock

When I was six we went to the natural history museum. In the gift store I was drawn to the semi precious gems/quartz/stones.

Out of thousands I chose this cracked one:

My mum: Are you sure you want that one? It's broken. There are so many others you could have.

Me: *holds it up to the light to show her how it shines like a rainbow* But that's what makes it beautiful!

My mum: OK, it's your money, if that's what you want to spend it on...

Now in my 30's I still have this rainbow rock pride of place. The crack is what makes it beautiful, what makes it different, unique.

You may feel cracked, you may be different, but I assure you, you are beautiful.

There will be people who don't see it, but there will be people who do. They may be hard to find but they are out there.

As a HSP / neurodivergent - I always felt different. I was bullied and convinced I was broken, flawed, and suffered terribly because of it.

Now I'm beginning to realise I'm just like my little rainbow rock.

Sharing incase anyone else needs to hear this. Applies to all differences of all types 🌈

Synthetic Crystals

Bismuth crystals are laboratory made, not naturally occurring. The natural form of bismuth, a metal and element, shares the property of being denser in its liquid form than its solid form with the only other elements like this which includes silicon, gallium, germanium and plutonium. This is because these elements don’t form H-H bonds under standard pressure. It’s also diamagnetic, as in, it is repelled by magnetic fields. It’s solid form is more massive or a flat hexagonal grouping.

It has lots of cool characteristics. But the rainbow is not natural at all and neither is the shape people associate with bismuth. The only ‘rainbow rock’ out there is known as Bornite, also called the Peacock Rock because it tarnishes in blue and purple hues. But opals can be so fantastic in appearance with colors that they have their own descriptor for appearance, opalescence, which can also appear like a rainbow.

Ultimately, there are lots of minerals out there, especially ones with impurities, that really stand out in proud rainbow fashion. But the title and naturally occurring ‘rainbow rock’ is Bornite.
