A Dark Kind of Sweet

My order from England came!

Odd, that I should get from overseas a sample that originated only a few states south of here. But that's eBay for you. Good gods, look at my eBay track lately and the whole thing is crude oil.

This little sample, a relic from some bloke's geologist granddad, was in limited supply with only six phials for sale, and is the most expensive of my crudes due to the tacked-on cost of shipping. Labeled "Premium Sweet Crude Oil", not because of taste(!) but because of its low sulfur content, it comes from Oklahoma --- we think of Texas automatically when it comes to oil, but forget about Oklahoma --- and thus may be tied to the human story and tragedy of the Osage Natives; I have yet, however, to explore its geological Earth story. Its quantity is too low for me to use it for much besides magical work; perhaps as it should be. Another one for the road ahead. . . .

Peekout! The Old Ones are watching. ♡
