Dave Muth@famousblueben Ben @famousblueben , and Greg @GPJohnston,
I got lots of results searching Mastodon for Rockhounding, Geology, Lapidary, RockTumbling, Gemology, Crystallography, etc.
No rock clubs meeting online, yet, though.
Different search results with and without intercaps, e.g., rockhounding, and RockHounding. (Why?

Planetary EcologistDiamond inclusions (Mineralogy 💎)
Diamond inclusions are the non-diamond materials that get encapsulated inside diamond during its formation process in the mantle. The trapped materials can be other minerals or fluids like water. Since diamonds have high strength and low reactivity with either the inclusion or the volcanic host rocks which carry the diamond to the Earth's surface, ...

Jeremy MallinOne of many things I never understood about the portrayal of Superman on screen was when he crushed coal in his hand to create diamonds. Wouldn't it still take thousands of years to form diamonds from coal? It's not just a matter of strength. Also, why were they already cut when he opened his hand?
* I think the George Reeves Superman did that in one episode. Christopher Reeve may have also done that in one of the movies. I can't remember just now.

A beautiful 2.33 carat gem is on display at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History. At first glance it appears to be a large ruby- but it is actually a very rare red diamond. This diamond is known as the Winston Diamond. Only a staggering 1 in 25 million diamonds are red. This one originally was owned by the Cartier family before going to India. It was then bought by Ronald Winston and it was worn by Brooke Shields. https://www.popsci.com/science/red-diamond-smithsonian/
