To celebrate what would’ve been GateCon weekend, you binge Stargate.

At least, you try to. Rumbling from the local volcano interrupts your revere, forcing you to relocate.

Before you leave, your eyes catch on a distinctive green crystal in the traprock. #YouFindARock https://twitter.com/arcticgoddess1/status/1300038991400456193">https://twitter.com/arcticgod...

You pluck up the translucent boxy crystals, admiring how they build together to create a distinctive pyramid.

Apophyllite is a mix of calcium silicates with traces of potassium, sodium, and a hint of fluorite.

It’s safe enough for an inedible rock candy, but doesn’t dissolve in spit so you can’t actually taste it.

You adjust your Zat& #39;nik& #39;tel to emit in ultraviolet, and zap (or its it zat?) the mineral.

“Oooh, isn’t that a pretty glow!” you exclaim as the Apophyllite fluoresces yellow.
