...in RL. Sitting by my keyboard. Yup. I am that guy. (to my defense I was at a geological museum with the kids).
When I was in like 5th grade I went on a field trip to a science museum for school, and I was psyched to learn that malachite was a real thing. I'm not sure everyone else understood my excitement...
Man, you just made me go to eBay and buy some malachite. Been a mage since 2002 so I guess it goes with the territory.
I was with my wife at some haunted mining town in Arizona a few years ago. Went into one of the gift shops and found some malachite. I told my wife I had to buy some. When she asked why, I told her it is because that is what is used to summon my pet in the game. Thank goodness it was only a couple dollars, cause the look on her face when I told her that was Mastercard priceless...
Could be worse. Shop for some blue diamonds. On the other hand, what a collection of all the RL gems used in EQ cost? Hmmmm
