"I am fond of #Rhodochrosite especially if it looks like forbidden bacon +can be found in jewellery but must give #Turquoise the art vote for millennia of use in art & jewellery by ancient Egyptians, Aztecs, Persians, Mesopotamians, in the Indus Valley & ancient China & many places since. #MinCup24"

  "My linocut print on 8” x 8” cream coloured washi paper shows a specimen of rhodochrosite complete with the word “Rhodochrosite” in script in dusky rose. The mineral is printed in tints and shades of dusky rose and cream with some wiggly stripes and irregular concentric rings of colour with the irregular shape of a rock."

  "“The iconic gold burial mask of Tutankhamun, inlaid with turquoise, lapis lazuli, carnelian and coloured glass”. Via Wikipedia. The mask of the 18th-dynasty ancient Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamun (reigned 1334–1325 BC), represents the pharaoh's standard image, and the same image was found by excavators elsewhere in the tomb, in particular in the guardian statues. He wears a nemes headcloth, (striped in blue and gold) topped by the royal insignia of a cobra (Wadjet) and vulture (Nekhbet), symbolising Tutankhamun's rule of both Lower Egypt and Upper Egypt respectively. The ears are pierced to hold earrings, a feature that appears to have been reserved for queens and children. He wears a narrow gold beard, inlaid with blue glass and has a triple-string necklace of gold and blue faience disc-beads with lotus flower terminals and uraeus clasps. His eyes are outlined in black as are his pupils and eyebrows."

  "“Turquoise mosaic mask of Xiuhtecuhtli, the Aztec god of fire. The Aztecs differentiated turquoise based on quality: xihuitl, a more mundane version used for decoration such as in mosaics, and teoxihuitl, a special version embued with qualities of Teotl and valued for its beauty.” The mask looks like a bumpy human face in turquoise with prominent white teeth and gold eyes, against a black background.
