Trolleite, stone of ascension

💙 Trolleite is a rare phosphate mineral composed of aluminum, lithium, and sodium phosphate. It is typically found in granitic pegmatites and is often associated with other phosphate minerals such as apatite, lazulite, and montebrasite. It is typically blue, greenish-blue, or gray, but can also appear in shades of white or pale green.

🩵 Trolleite forms in phosphate-rich environments and is often found in association with high-temperature hydrothermal activity. It is a secondary mineral, meaning it forms as a result of alteration processes affecting pre-existing minerals in pegmatites.

🤍 Significant deposits of trolleite have been found in countries such as Sweden (where it was first identified and named in honor of Swedish chemist Hans Gabriel Trolle-Wachtmeister), Brazil, Norway, Germany, and the United States.

💙 Trolleite is believed to help deepen meditation practices by promoting a calm and peaceful mind.

🩵 It is associated with connecting to higher realms, spirit guides, and angelic energies. Practitioners use it to access higher states of consciousness and spiritual wisdom.

🤍 Trolleite is used to activate and align the third eye and crown chakras, enhancing intuitive abilities and spiritual insight. It can also aid in developing psychic gifts such as clairvoyance and telepathy.

💙 Known for its soothing energy, trolleite is believed to help release emotional blockages, reduce stress, and promote emotional balance. It is often used to calm overactive thoughts and instill a sense of tranquility.

🩵 Trolleite is thought to help align one's actions with their higher purpose or soul mission. It is associated with manifestation, encouraging users to focus their energy on achieving their spiritual and material goals.

🤍 It is used to open energy pathways, improve communication, and strengthen one's connection to universal energy.

💙 Trolleite is often seen as a stone of transformation, helping individuals navigate significant life changes with grace and resilience. It encourages letting go of old patterns and embracing new beginnings.

pages 225 and 226 - has my life been productive?

No kids that I know of. No party I could say no to. Working just enough (see previous answer). Minimal responsibility for destruction of the rain forest (had a bit of a passion for açaí berries in the mid oughts I will admit). Tried to feel good. Tried to make others feel good.

But I don't remember starting any factories, so I guess the answer is no.

But I don't get it MAN.

Scientists offer strong carbon plastics for aviation

Employees of the Institute of Chemistry of Kazan Federal University and the Kazan National Research Technical University have produced especially strong carbon plastics based on phosphate binders that can withstand temperatures of more than 500 degrees Celsius. The findings are published in the journal Composites Part A: Applied Science and Manufacturing. "Composite materials are used very widely today: almost everything is made of them, starting from hockey sticks and ending with airplanes. The vast majority of composites are created using organic polymer binders, which have many positive features, but have two significant drawbacks: they are flammable and work up to temperatures of 300–450 degrees Celsius maximum. "At the same time, the use of composites, for example, in aviation or astronautics, and in many 'earthly' areas, requires non-combustible materials capable of withstanding high (over 500 degrees Celsius) temperatures. We have solved this difficult problem by using inorganic binders," says Rustem Amirov, Chair of the Department of Inorganic Chemistry, Lead Research Associate of the Laboratory of Polymer Smart Materials and Nanocomposites of the Institute of Chemistry.
