Well, it’s now been two weeks since I began the Popcorn Rock
project, and there’s quite a bit of popcorn (albeit yellow) atop the dolomite
rock that I soaked in vinegar.
It’s not a real pretty sight. Actually, the nicest crystals
have always been the newest ones that pop out from the rock. Then they join up
with each other and turn the color of coffee-stained teeth.
What’s really been interesting is the aragonite precipitate
that’s clustering about the sides of the bowl. They’re actually starting to
grow, like stalagmites.
I’m thinking that by the time this is all done, I might have
bowl covered in the white stuff. That wouldn’t be half bad, would it?
