#mod amethyst

Buckle up.

Let’s start out with some photos of genuine malachite!

Here are the easiest characteristics to look for in real malachite:

Lots of different greens, but NEVER black. You can get some pretty dark shades of green, but you don’t see pure black on real malachite.

Banding in organic shapes! Swirls, waves, rings and stripes are seen throughout the stone.

Now let’s look at some of the worst cases of fake malachite

Compare the characteristics here to the real malachite

There’s maybe three different greens at max, and a LOT of black.

The banding is very uniform. The photo on the far right has a few rings, but even then the rest of the stone looks like a goddamn zebra

Suuuper often you’ll see that ugly fake stuff being sold as genuine. Let’s take a look at a few more examples!

Hi there!

That is a very good question, and I will do my best to explain. We are a temporary mod team, and eventually all of us plan to split ways and move on to other projects in the future. Since this is for profit, although it seems counterintuitive, the only way to continually receive money is to eventually accumulate and distribute it, which is long term work for our finance mod, and requires us to keep in constant contact with the entire team. Furthermore, the contract that the mod team has put together for the contributors states that after the zine is completed, their work becomes their own intellectual property. If we were to continue to sell and/or distribute their work, it would take away from the money they may make from selling their own property in the future. Combined, it makes it completely unreasonable to continue selling the PDF indefinitely, or release it for free. This is why we, and most zines, allow contributors to post their work, and support them by promoting their work on our social medias. 

You can check out our tag on Tumblr for all the pieces that have been posted so far here, and read some of the posted works on our AO3 collection. We have also been retweeting contributor’s works on our Twitter. 

Thank you so much for the question, and for supporting the zine!

Peridot: That is a plant.

Blue Lace Agate: What type of plant?

So I’m reminded now and then of bex’s headcanons for aizawa and yamada friendship (which are amazing!), and then this amazingly hilarious combo appeared XD so here’s a small piece for these things combined.

The enemy was close, he could tell. In fact, he could hear him. It was obviously a big one, and the heavy steps resounded throughout the empty streets, assuming an almost physical quality in its strength, scratching paint off walls and cracking glasses. He clenched his teeth in annoyance, the vibrations of a particularly heavy impact jarring his bones, more feeling than hearing the sharp sound of destroyed concrete. He had no visual of the target, so he stopped on a roof, using the time to catch his breath and survey the area.

The villain had run a rampage through this abandoned area on the outskirts of town and was steadily making his way towards the city. A city full of unprotected civilians. They had to stop him before he could go any further, but all attempts had fallen flat as of now.

All deft motions, Eraserhead skilfully manipulated his capture weapon, using it to pull himself to the next building. He was now able to identify the direction of the destruction noises, and yet still no signs of him. Damn it, he would have to get closer. The situation wasn’t looking too bright.

With sharp eyes, he recognized the flashy figure of Present Mic one block down, evidently trying to approach enough so his quirk would have an effect. A sudden idea crossed his mind and he smirked to himself. Out of the box, all right. But still logical and potentially effective. And would probably pay Mic back for how he pulled his leg the other day. Perfect.

Jumping on an electric wire, he ran towards his friend, quickly looping his reins on a light pole before lowering himself to the ground, landing swiftly right beside the crouched hero who only glanced at him, unimpressed and used to the behaviour.

“Mic. I will use my weapon to throw you towards that villain.” That got a reaction, alright. His friend looked at him aghast, tilting his head to the side like an astonished cockatoo, and then looking around as if Eraserhead had lost his brain somewhere along the pile of scattered garbage that surrounded them both and replaced it with a rotten tomato. For fuck’s sake.

“Trust me.” He said simply, already moving his reins to surround the other’s torso. Present Mic swallowed dry, dread shadowing his features. Knowing fully well he was fucked.

Fine then, I’ll just say all of them are nice mods! 

- Mod Lexie 

I was about to say me but anon said no, so uum.  Some mods are nicer than other people, but they’re all brilliant people.

~ Mod Creiss

All the mods are super sweet so I could never pick one~!

- Mod Saihara 

I’d have to say all of them are nice, with the exception of Tsumugi when she tells me to die. 

- Mod Ouma

Mod Succi and Tsunameme are pretty much dead to me—and Mod Ouma keeps calling me a furry so I’ll have to go with… anyone other than them~ ^^

- Mod Terra

I love every mod on this blog equally, but my wife Terra holds a special place in my heart.

-Mod Amethyst

I will use the process of elimination here. Tsu is not the nicest mod for obvious reasons, Succi and Ouma bully her along with me so the three of us cannot be the nicest, Terra keeps groUDING MY HUSBAND. The nicest mods are Lexie, Creiss, Angie and Chi.

- Mod Tenko

If I am to pick the complete nicest Mod, it’d be my precious wife Terra. Of course, Mods like Rantchichi, Amethyst and C-rex are very close behind! Naturally, it wouldn’t be demons like Succ the Snowman, Plebma and even our beloved rat Umim, as they bully me the every chance they get!

- Mod Tsumugi

I have to say everyone is really nice to me b̶e̶s̶i̶d̶e̶s̶ T̶s̶u̶ s̶o̶m̶e̶t̶i̶m̶e̶s̶ and they’re all my beloved family. I can’t pick, sorry :3
