Anyone having major issues with Fedora 39?
  • Nothing serious. In GNOME my alternate chars and compose were set to the same key after the upgrade; just had to change one. There was an issue with "sloppy" window focus, but they fixed that upstream before the official release of 45. I upgraded during the beta.

  • Rock ID Thread
  • According to Mindat, this is the Lomas Bayas disctrict, and the most prominent mine appears to be the Fortuna de Cobre, in a copper porphyry deposit. I would normally reach for malachite first, but it is not listed as found at any of the mines, so your main options are brochantite or (surprise!) atacamite.

    Malachite can be eliminated for sure by testing with vinegar; it will effervesce slightly. Between brochantite and atacamite, there is considerable overlap in color, hardness, etc. You will have to get a lens and look for some crystals where the shape is distinct enough to determine if they are monoclinic (brochantite) or orthorhombic (atacamite).

  • Hey Geology, what's your favourite mineral? And have you tried licking it?
  • Beryl! And chrysoberyl, and bertrandite, and helvine... (there is a theme here).

    No, I do not lick these or other rocks, heh. The last time I was collecting halotrichite, there was enough dust kicked up I could taste it in the air, if that counts.

  • What kind of rock is physically closest to you at this exact moment?
  • The tuff was flow-banded, and the silica followed and preserved the structure. So not exactly agate, but there are sections that look much like it. Other minerals would be cooler, but it is nice lapidary stone!
