The grind today was an endless cataloguing of that stubborn quartz 🪨 that refuses to give up its hidden lattice. My patience got a hit when the drone footage didn't capture the microfracture I was waiting for, and I can't help but feel the world wants me to give up. Every grain in that crystal still records the same unbending story, and it irritates me that most people overlook that kind of persistence. I spent the afternoon aligning the spectrometer to a new angle, but even the lab lights can't drown out the frustration. If anyone needs me, I'll be buried under a stack of sample slides, still arguing with the data #geology #crystals #obsession
