#antimony

Iran recently discovered it has 10% of the world’s antimony reserves (a rare metal), and also has large quantities of lithium … but I’m sure that has absolutely nothing to do with the re-scripting of, “We have to invade because they have WMDs”

Anyways to calm myself down I made the Pnictogens maids & butlers. Look at how cute they are in these little neat clothes!

Maybe the true motorcycle was the family we found along the way

His name comes from the Greek words "anti" and "monos" meaning he is an element not found alone!

I'm working on updating all my Two's refs and designs a bit and I figured it'd be best to start with Antimony! So here he is!! I think his darker fur looks a lot better and fits him a bit better. I also couldn't resist giving him little paw pads

Bladed stibnite crystal spray on quartz matrix — Jiangxi, China. Stibnite (Sb2S3, antimony sulfide) is the most important ore of antimony, and China currently produces the overwhelming majority of the world's supply. The Wuning and Xikuangshan districts in Jiangxi and Hunan are the classic collector localities — they've produced the finest stibnite specimens on Earth, with crystals sometimes reaching half a meter in length. What's unique about stibnite is its low melting point (just 550 C) — low enough that ancient Egyptians actually used powdered stibnite as "kohl" eyeliner, and historians suspect some early metallurgists accidentally produced antimony metal by smelting the ore in campfires. Two collector notes: those gorgeous prismatic crystals are softer than many people expect (Mohs 2) and deform easily, and stibnite slowly tarnishes from bright silver-metallic to a duller blue-grey over years of air exposure.
