October 6 was declared International #GeodiversityDay by the UNESCO in 2021. On this day we celebrate the abiotic beauty and diversity of Earth - including rocks, soils, landscapes, rivers, lakes, minerals & fossils ⛰️🪨🐚💎

Happy Geodiversity Day! Today we celebrate the beauty and importance of our planet’s geological diversity. The Durbuy anticline, first described in 1807 by Jean-Baptiste Julien d’Omalius d’Halloy, is a perfect example of an IUGS Geological Heritage Site inside the UNESCO Geopark Famenne-Ardennes

🌟 The Geological Survey of Northern Ireland have celebrated #GeodiversityDay with the launch of a new Geodiversity Charter!

It’s Geodiversity Day & Mineral Monday!! So I wanted to show you a rare mineral called carletonite, which is usually bright blue but seen here with a pink zonation. It was discovered here in Canada, at the mineral species rich Mont Saint-Hilaire. #GeodiversityDay #MineralMonday #GeoscienceBluesky ⚒️🧪

🥳 Happy Geodiversity Day!
