Idk, I'm just a person who keeps doing stuff and ending up in situations.

A dark colored bar is perched on a dark colored rock crag - fluorescing neon green adamite balls decorate the rock and adamite has started to replace the bat particularly around the face.
‘Stibiconite’ ps. Stibnite • Wadley, Catorce Municipality, San Luis Potosí, Mexico • 13.8cm x 5.5cm x 2.3cm. Two long intergrown blade-shaped crystals of stibnite (a silver-colored metallic mineral) have been replaced by a crusty yellowish - eh, something, this one is a little complicated. It's probably a mixture of minerals, really, but it’s been called 'stibiconite’ historically. The IMA was arguing about it, I did not hear if they reached a conclusion. For our purposes: it's basically just antimony rust.
Zircon (medisediments) • Jack Hills, Nookawarra Station, Murchison Shire, Western Australia, Australia • 3.5cm x 3.4cm x 2.1cm. A sample of metasediments containing zircon grains from Jack Hills - it's a pretty average looking rock, grainy and sort of reddish-pinkish colored. Some quartz grains are visible, the largest ~6mm across. The zircons have been dated to ~4.4 billion years ago (Hadean). There is some shimmery bronzy material sprinkled throughout the mass, and my understanding is that material is the zircons (but I could be wrong).
A cream-colored kitten with faint reddish/grey stripes on his extremities is asleep on a towel - there are many toe beans and a little curly tail, and he is just obscenely cute.
