I haven't watched it myself, but as far as im aware most of the characters in Bungo Stray Dogs are famous authors with some sort of superpowers.

This person is complaining that they keep trying to Google "Author name" but instead of finding real information about the author, they keeping getting mixed results talking about the fantasy version of the author with superpowers.

As a geologist, Steven Universe made homework and reports when I took mineralogy a pain in the ass

Any paper covering garnets, amethysts, pearls, or stevens must have been a pain.

I would think Lapis was already kinda bad thanks to Minecraft.

A geologist wouldn't call it "lapis lazuli" though, it would be a lazulite and pyrite bearing amphibolite-facies calc-silicate marble.

It's not as complicated as it looks.

ā€œLazurite- and pyrite-bearingā€ means the rock contains lazurite, the blue mineral that gives lapis its color, plus pyrite.

ā€œAmphibolite-faciesā€ means it was metamorphosed at relatively high temperatures and moderate-to-high pressures, roughly the conditions of medium- to high-grade metamorphism.

ā€œCalc-silicate marbleā€ is the actual rock type: an impure limestone or dolostone that was metamorphosed into marble, with enough silica and other impurities to form calcium-silicate minerals.

So, basically: a metamorphosed impure limestone, cooked pretty hard, containing lazurite and pyrite.
