Today: dear #Mincup24 team. I sent you greetings from #Switzerland. Look whom I have met today during my #hedgewatch. A very young #IceMin, it formed last night, is greeting you😻 It hopes also to become again part of the #MineralCup in the future 😻

When we went on #hedgewatch in the #Heide/#Heath. We found again #windkanter/#ventifacts. This was a #sandstone a #sedimentary #rock & is now a #quartzite i.e. the #metamorphic equivalent. Thus it has seen high #temperature &/or #pressure. The stripes are the remnants of the sedimentary layers

Got a few projects on the bench, one of which is a Sencore LC102 capacitor analyzer; a fantastically useful bit of gear. I’ve got a good one and a bad one on loan from a friend, and having a good one on hand gives me a fighting chance to get the bad one working.
I’m chronicling my shenanigans in more detail here:
