It is getting close to the time of the year when I start feeling the lure to browse all kinds of advent calendars online...

So, it's September, and it's time for the Mineral Cup! My favorite time on Mastodon 🥰

Incidentally, it's also the weeked of the Budapest Mineral Show. Where people can vote for Mineral of the Year 2025 and Fossil of the Year 2025 😊 3 candidates each. The geologists at the booth are lobbying hard for their favorites. I was won over by the opal lobby. And got a button!

(Also pictured is a pink opal bracelet. Because pebbles!)

Bookmarks featuring the candidates. Mineral of the Year 2025 candidates are Opal, Hematite and Aragonite. Fossil of the Year candidates are Viviparus, radiolaria and Equisetites. The bookmarks say VOTE! in colorful letters. They also double as rulers.
Photo of the voting table. There is a cardboard box for the voting slips, decorated with photos of all the candidates. Also colorful information pamphlets on the candidates as well as bookmarks and postcards, and small baskets of giveaway minerals.
Up close photo of my hand, holding a button on my palm. Button has a photo of a colorful piece of opal, and a yellor border that reads "Mineral of the Year Candidate 2025 - Opal". I am also wearing a bracelet of pale pink opal pebbles.

The Hungarian Ornithology Society has these collectible pins they sell for donations at various locations around Hungary. There are more than 300 species included, but the catch is, they don't tell you which pins you can find at which locations.

Today I went on a scavenger hunt and managed to find a care at the fourth try 😄 Yay!

Enamel pins lined up on a cardboard sheet at the shop. They represent various animals, including a wolf, a brown bear, a golden oriole, a wren, a deer, a blue tit, a kingfisher, and a crane.
The crane enamel pin up close (common crane). It is pinned on a green piece of paper with the logo and info of MME (the Hungarian Ornithology Society).

Late Christmas gifts finally trickling in 😊 Look at this gorgeous oracle deck!!! 🥰

#cards #OracleCards #art #image #tarot #witchy #shiny
Box of the Tree Keepers Oracle deck, written by Angi Sullins and illustrated by Stephanie Law. It shows a beautifully detailed, colorful watercolor image with a woman curled around a glowing orb at the base of the tree, peacefully sleeping, half merged with the tree bark, hair growing into branches. There are bright pink butterflies flitting around.
The inside of the open box. Featuring the same art on the art book cover, and a tree and a magpie on the inside lid. The inside lid is signed by Stephanie Law. There is a quote printed on it: As legend and druids can tell you, there are places on the planet where the veil between worlds is thin, and the trees are guardians of these sacred spaces.
Colorful cards from the deck, fanned out. Visible are Keeper of Innocence (a fairy like woman peeking from behind a tree at a radiant white stag with branching antlers), Keeper of Comfort (a lady with a unicorn resting on her lap under a tree), Keeper of Self-love (a woman playing a flute surrounded by forest animals).

Loot from today's mineral fair. A very pretty agate pendant, a charoite pendant, and some carnelian pebbles because the archeologist in me loves carnelian. 🥰

A bracelet made of irregular pebble shaped carnelian beads (about the size of peas), next to a teardrop shaped polished pebble that has white and black patterns with some vivid light purple (charoite) mixed in. The agate pendant is round, marbled black and white, with some branching dendrite features.
