i found it cool how salt was used as in like "oh yeah salt is a way of banishing demons" but also there's the fact that the imposter's true forms have slimy residue and are squishy and stuff, almost like a snail or worm of some sort. these bodies that are breathable through skin are sensitive to moisture deprevation, aka why their bodies react so harshly to salt. another thing about cyan's circle is "purifying amethyst" that nobody talks about. amethyst is used as a way of removing toxicity and preventing overindulgence- exactly what green has been showed to do. they state they "like to kill" which is obviously not a real reason other than the mind's representation of going too far for something that gives joy or some sense of excitement (overindulgence) the amethyst isnt strictly something that the aliens "hate" or anything, it's just put there to say "yeah, the aliens kinda don't have that much of a reason other than enjoyment"

another thing is green's star sign here. i'm no expert, but it's clear to cyan that they see changes in green's personality. looking at the official definition: The Gemini symbol reflects the sign's fundamental dual nature. Represented by the mythological twins, this dualism gives Geminis the ability to see multiple perspectives, adapt to changing environments effortlessly, and switch between different social personas. because this is exactly what Green does- they're a mix of two people, really (as we can see from the personality swap on episode 10). Cyan is confused also because green tends to show signs of being a Scorpio, too- secretive, possessive and highly intuitive and value their privacy. also known as the "bad guy" in literally every film. the element for scorpios is water, in contrast to gemini's air. water is easily adaptable, going with the flow as green does all the time. also, water itself is liquid making it easy to well slip through things like vents see what idid there sorry

BAM im having a blast...

Cyan, is not an actual gemologist. Or at least not an accurate representation of one. They are a crystal healer, which is a pseudoscience. Gemology is the study of minerals. It is a subcategory of geology.

I need the people to know, that if someone believes in Crystal healing, or chakras, or spiritual nature of crystals, that is NOT gemology. Gemology deals with scientific classification of gemstones, and sometime borders the jewelry industry.

You CAN, be both. I’m not ignoring that claim. But Cyan for the past few episodes, has NOT given me any confidence that they are an actual gemologist.

i could not for the life of me figure out what the fuck this was. i initially thought amethyst but the color was a little too reddish and the luster was wrong.

turns out it’s a one of a kind rhodolite garnet from cowee valley nc that my grandfather dug up and cut himself! it looks so different from other rhodolite garnets because it’s from a completely different place. this piece is absolutely priceless as cowee’s mineral deposits are dry and there will never be another piece like this.

Самая большая пещера из аметистовой жеоды —  Зачарованная пещера.

Зачарованная пещера — крупнейшая замкнутая аметистовая жеода, когда-либо обнаруженная на Земле. Весом целых 20 тонн это необыкновенное чудо природы предлагает редкую и впечатляющую возможность заглянуть в скрытую красоту нашей планеты.

Около 120 миллионов лет назад на севере Уругвая (Южная Америка) внутри потока расплавленной лавы образовался гигантский пузырь. Со временем лава остыла и затвердела, и через твёрдую поверхность породы просочилась богатая минералами вода. Вода испарялась или вытекала из породы, оставляя после себя крошечные минеральные отложения. На протяжении миллионов лет эти богатые железом отложения постепенно разрастались, образуя миллионы прекрасных лавандовых аметистов в аметистовой пещере.

Более десяти лет назад обычный фермер обнаружил это чудо в отдалённом районе северного Уругвая. Затем основатель Crystal Castle (это ботанический сад в Новом Южном Уэльсе), приехав за другими кристаллами, не смог устоять перед красотой пещеры и решил перевезти её в Австралию, чтобы люди могли увидеть это творение вживую.

The largest cave of the amethyst Geode is the Enchanted Cave.

The Enchanted Cave is the largest enclosed amethyst geode ever discovered on Earth. Weighing as much as 20 tons, this extraordinary natural wonder offers a rare and impressive glimpse into the hidden beauty of our planet.

About 120 million years ago, a giant bubble formed inside a molten lava flow in northern Uruguay (South America). Over time, the lava cooled and solidified, and mineral-rich water seeped through the hard rock surface. The water evaporated or flowed out of the rock, leaving behind tiny mineral deposits. Over millions of years, these iron-rich deposits have gradually expanded to form millions of beautiful lavender amethysts in the amethyst cave.

More than a decade ago, an ordinary farmer discovered this miracle in a remote area of northern Uruguay. Then the founder of Crystal Castle (a botanical garden in New South Wales), having come to collect other crystals, could not resist the beauty of the cave and decided to move it to Australia so that people could see this creation live.
