kilauea, one of the most active volcanoes on earth, has erupted continuously from its pu’u o’o vent since 1983, oozing one thousand degree fahrenheit lava at fifteen yards an hour across hawaii’s big island into the ocean. photos by (click pic) tom kualii, g. brad lewis, bruce omori, cj kale and nick selway

If I had not met Melkor… If he had taken no notice of me, and we had never spoken….

I suppose I would have continued on as I was in the beginning: Admirable-One of Aulë, first of smiths. I would be with him still, perhaps in Valinor, questioning not my duties, working in the Great Forge to complete my father’s designs. 

Perhaps I’d invent things of my own. Perhaps not. Certainly, I would have to do so on my own time, never taking precedence over the work of the group. 

Would I have seen Melkor in chains paraded through the city of bells, and thought it right and just? Would I have met Fëanor? Mahtan, Nerdanel, the great smiths of the Calaquendi? Would I have seen the Two Trees, bathed in their light, mourned for their destruction? 

I’d be no different from a thousand other Maiar, whose stories are not told, whose love has moved no mountains nor made ripples through history. 

Perhaps I’d have been happier, though poorer for it. 

Lieutenant Gothmog! Winner of Orc-of-the-Month for three consecutive terms. As reward for your estimable service, I present this Tulkas’s Knot armband. 

Wear it, and you will find yourself able to carry twice what you used to, run twice as fast, see twice as far. Your aim will be impeccable and your judgement swift. What is more, the sight of you will be an inspiration to your comrades, an omen of terror to your enemies– it will grant you the gravitas of one heroic and beautiful. 

Be wary, friend, that you do not let its charms make you forget who and what you really are. The glamor is only skin-deep. It cannot protect you from bodily harm, nor a broken heart.

Unusual Tourmaline crystal –
Teófilo Otoni, Mucuri valley, Minas Gerais, Brazil

The crystal of very dark blue-black Tourmaline measures to 8.4cm striated, with a multi faced termination, but the intriguing parts are the four holes through the tourmaline. These could have been created by the tourmaline’s growth around a pre-existing mineral, possibly feldspar, that has since been naturally dissolved away, leaving the novel crystal formation. An unusual find in the world of tourmaline.
