On International Geodiversity Day (6 October), we decided to highlight the granite formations of Serra das Mesas (Sabugal), where the CΓ΄a River has its source. An excellent place for walking and observing nature.

Happy Geodiversity Day! Today we celebrate the beauty and importance of our planet’s geological diversity. The Durbuy anticline, first described in 1807 by Jean-Baptiste Julien d’Omalius d’Halloy, is a perfect example of an IUGS Geological Heritage Site inside the UNESCO Geopark Famenne-Ardennes

Specimen of carletonite with prisms of blue and pink all around. There is one large square crystal with a small blue square in the middle with pink on the outside on the upper right side of the specimen. It sits on a black background. At the Canadian Museum of Nature.

It’s Geodiversity Day & Mineral Monday!! So I wanted to show you a rare mineral called carletonite, which is usually bright blue but seen here with a pink zonation. It was discovered here in Canada, at the mineral species rich Mont Saint-Hilaire. #GeodiversityDay #MineralMonday #GeoscienceBluesky βš’οΈπŸ§ͺ
