a gem a day keeps me at bay

this is a blog where i plan on posting one type of gemstone per day (or about as often as i can)

i am a minor

i use they/she pronouns

i am not a professional on this subject (yet)

i just really like rocks

sometimes i use a random gemstone generator to give me the gem of the day, but also god forbid i wanna post about something with more information on it than cummingtonite or something

i get my information mainly from wikipedia, but i also try to do my research in other places

i cant control who does and doesnt interact with this blog, but i block incredibly freely

thats all! enjoy your daily gemstone!
