Quarantine Show & Tell Jolly Fun Time

Post by SwordfishMining »

Just a cold day so I figured Id do a show and tell thread. Have at it if you care. I was hoping to do some works in progress, but i have to clear the chores out of the way first. Spring has sprung around here already, fresh snow or not.

I prefer a black light with no purple light like a Convoy S2 with a filter. I sell them too.
For a sterilizing black light it has to be shortwave.

I really like this Drs takes on the facts of anything. Here is Q & A on the current issue. In Washington state they are actually testing the first experimental vaccine for it.

This is the only opal i have seen with a moving inclusion.
I have seen a white core that came in and out of a black core, both good gem grade, from the Peacock mine once & it was jumping the shark.

If nobody has noticed I'll babble away by myself. Found me a nice list of Coronaisms.
I thought there would be a longer list of coronaisms, Coronials, Coroomers, Coronicle and so on
Then theres all the names for the disease itself. Here is Nancys reddit list of terms.
