Fauna 's Choice of Minerals Got Insulted By The Store Owner

VP casually flexing his PHD in geology with all that crystal knowledge in the clip, very based and cool

[@VPCh.]

@luka188 Not quite a PhD. My school does it a bit weirdly, so my current thesis is sort of in-between undergrad and masters. Most people alternate terms working and doing their thesis, while still taking courses. I've considered doing a PhD, but I'm not sure it's really a good plan. I'll probably wait and see what the demand for geologists is like then when I get to that stage.

[@tiasedits2213]

cool

[@joshsowa6803]

@@VPCh. do you have videos about geology?

[@VPCh.]

​@joshsowa6803 Not yet, although creating a side channel to make educational videos is something I'd like to do eventually.

[@tiasedits2213]

@@VPCh. honestly I'd watch that it rocks

[@VPCh.]

I might have gone a bit overkill with the geology notes... Geology and vtubers are my two biggests interests, I'm usually working on my thesis (metamorphic petrology) or working as a geologist outside of clipping, so having them talk about geology related things is a double win for me.

[@daunted232]

never overkill!

[@Termanater97]

Thanks for the rock facts. I like it very much. I appreciate the work you did on the clip.

[@Darkagma]

Good luck with your thesis. It's always great to see a clipper who can bring more content to a clip than what one can get just from the raw footage.

[@joshsowa6803]

i gotta say i actually really enjoyed the cool geology notes

[@theboemmonkey]

I liked it alot, thank you

[@LordoftheDice]

I'm chuckling over here imagining geologists getting into fistfights over whether Opal is a mineral.

"yeah you put the rose quartz in sunlight" geologist notes: "DO NOT put rose quartz in sunlight"

[@VPCh.]

I have to wonder if it was a scam by the seller to get people to buy more. Like "your quartz faded? that just means it absorbed a lot of negative energy, you should buy another one to replace it".

[@jayayywhy4374]

@@VPCh. seems like it honestly, like those rings that break if you "absorb too much negative energy" but theyre actually made of some brittle metal

[@VPCh.]

​@jayayywhy4374 Hematite rings I think. They break down quickly when exposed to the salt and water from your sweat.

[@Dango428]

Loved the geology facts in the clip (+ even more random geology facts in the comments). Thank you VP good sir

[@digitalyoutuber154]

The lady probably thought she bought a JO crystal for the bros.

[@xx0124xx]

I loved the rock lore added to this. It felt like I was actually learning stuff and not just watching a clip, very nice!

[@tciddados]

rainbow + "popular with men" makes me think it was bismuth. Bismuth is cool and the square spirals feel kind of techy/sci-fi which I could see as being a "guy crystal" type of thing.

[@nicholasthesilly]

I was thinking bismuth too.

[@NukePower217]

DANG FAUNA, YOU THE MAN!

[@FelixValentiCh.]

today I learned the mantle isn’t primarily all magma

[@VPCh.]

Nope, that's actually a super common misconception that was taught incorrectly in a lot of schools. 95% of the earth is solid, aside from a bit of the outer core. Even though it's hot, the extreme pressure pushes the molecules together enough to keep it as a solid. Volcanoes and magma pockets form when there is a drop in pressure (often near areas of uplifting rocks or plates that are spreading apart).

[@MARfilms]

I don't know if to make a Biboo rock joke or a Hank "Jesus Christ Marie! They're Minerals!" joke.

[@blvalverde]

Ah, yes, expose the rose quartz to sunlight so it loses its color and you have to buy a new one. Those sellers trying to be slick, huh?

[@shinigamimiroku3723]

Respect the geology knowledge, mate! I knew a little bit, but it's been ages since I actually studied that particular branch, and I always enjoy learning!

[@GetterRay]

Can confirm, men love Bismuth.

[@metalninja2474]

Igneous and metamorphic petrology giving me PTSD flashbacks. Much preferred large-scale structures, myself, couldn't care for the mineralogy 😅 that being said it was definitely cool to see a phase diagram next to chuubas!

[@VPCh.]

@@metalninja2474 Yeah, that's fair. Petrology starts to turn into chemistry and thermodynamics once you look deep enough at it, and that's not for everyone.

[@DB240sx]

Wonder if Fauna might've been talking about labradorite or bismuth? Nice clip, VP. Thanks for all the geology info!

[@VPCh.]

That definitely could be it. Bismuth is quite colorful and pretty.

[@Flugmorph]

i think its freakin rad to have a clipper like you in the community be so much into geology. i guess youre studying it, thats epic!

[@NukePower217]

Biboo should get Shamrock Malphite

[@施銘彥]

Hank Schrader approved.

[@Notfenfen]

Expected a clip. Got a geology course instead. Pretty cool combo.

[@timkirkham-sm9zd]

It doesn't seem to be backed up by the dictionary definition I found, but apparently there was some old joke about geologists preferring rocks which are spathic because it means possessing good cleavage...

[@Gibboner13]

Bro pulled out the Geology degree for this clip lmao

[@deathwizard1996]

Rock on geology What is Biboo stone power level is

[@Circ00mspice]

I wouldn't think men are into crystals unless they were gay

[@rta2xo639]

God forbid straight men like pretty rocks

[@henrypoopenstein]

There's the famous Dr. Disrespect clip where he was buying little pyramids made of a mineral called "Shungite" to absorb "bad frequencies". (This was before he was known as a predator I don't wanna get into all that)

[@luka188]

As a hetero sexual man, I can confirm that, no, a man does not have to be gay to like crystals. They are pretty cool.
