🦎 BEARDED DRAGON X GYPSUM 🦎
“Pogonite”
5/10

#art #herps #wildlifeart #digitalart #reptile #furryart #contemporaryart

The bearded dragon (Pogona vitticeps) originates from the desert zones and dry forests of central Australia. Appreciated for its balanced size and gentle temperament, this reptile is popular among terrarium enthusiasts. Its name comes from its triangular head framed by spiny scales forming a beard, which it flares out to intimidate predators. Its colors range from light yellow to dark brown, but in captivity the shades and patterns can be surprisingly diverse.

💎 Gypsum is a calcium sulfate, a soft saline rock that is very abundant and commonly found in crystalline form. White, yellowish, grey, or even pinkish, its crystals display a range of colors. Its use in Provence dates back to 7000 BCE. Nicknamed “the plaster stone,” it has been widely used to build walls, carve frescoes, shape statues, and even aid in ceramic casting techniques. It can be found in the Bouches-du-Rhône (Aix-en-Provence, Roquevaire, Saint-Pierre-les-Martigues…), as well as in the Vaucluse and the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence.

L'agame barbu (Pogona vitticeps) est originaire des zones désertiques et forêts sèches du centre de l'Australie. Très apprécié pour sa taille équilibrée et son tempérament doux, ce reptile est populaire auprès des amateurs de terrariophilie. Son nom vient de sa tête triangulaire cernée d'écailles épineuses qui forment une barbe. Il la déploie pour effrayer ses prédateurs. Ses couleurs varient du jaune clair au brun foncé, mais en captivité les teintes et motifs peuvent être surprenants. 💎 Le gypse est un sulfate de calcium, une roche tendre saline très abondante, qu'on retrouve sous la forme cristalline. Blanche, jaunâtre, grise ou encore rosâtre, les cristaux présentent des couleurs variées. Son utilisation en Provence remonte à -7000 av. J.-C. Surnommée "la pierre à plâtre", elle est utilisée massivement pour ériger des murs, sculpter des fresques, façonner des statues et même en tant qu'aide pour la technique du coulage en céramique.

Guided by its star, the blue jay takes flight and follows its scarlet glow through the darkness. Talons reaching toward its dreams, it clings with all its strength to the passion burning within its core.

Guidé par son étoile, le geai bleu prend son envol et suit sa lueur écarlate à travers l'obscurité. Les serres tendues vers les rêves, il s'accroche de toutes ses forces à la passion dévorant ses entrailles. Ici-bas sur Terre, le limonium tend ses feuilles vers son comparse et n'oubliera jamais son courage, gravant un souvenir éternel.

"Epidotis" - LEOPARD GECKO X EPIDOTE
1/10

#art #reptile #geology #wildlife

🇺🇸
🦎 LEOPARD GECKO X EPIDOTE 🦎
1/10

The leopard gecko (Eublepharis macularius) is a nocturnal desert lizard. Highly appreciated in terrarium keeping, it’s a popular reptile in captivity and an ideal choice for beginners. In the wild, it lives hidden among rocks in India, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. Its tail serves as a fat reserve, allowing the gecko to go several days or even weeks without food.

🪨 Epidote is a silicate mineral typical of metamorphism (the transformation of rock in a solid state under increased temperature or pressure). It can be found in the Hautes-Alpes, particularly around Saint-Véran. This stone, with its green to yellow-green hues and dark reflections, forms stubby crystals and compact masses.

🦎 GECKO LEOPARD X EPIDOTE 🦎
1/10

Le gecko léopard (Eublepharis macularius) est un lézard désertique nocturne. Grandement apprécié en terrariophilie, c'est un reptile répandu en captivité et le choix idéal pour les débutants. A l'état sauvage, il vit caché entre les rochers en Inde, Afghanistan et au Pakistan. Sa queue sert de réserve de graisse car dans la nature, le gecko léopard peut passer plusieurs jours voir semaines sans se mettre quoique ce soit sous la dent.

🪨 L'épidote est un silicate caractéristique du métamorphisme (transformation d'une roche à l'état solide sous l'élévation de la température ou la pression). On le trouve dans les Hautes-Alpes, notamment à Saint-Véran. Cette roche aux teintes verdâtres, voir vert-jaunâtre tirant sur des reflets noirs forme des cristaux trapus aux masses compactes.
