Some observations and investigations on the strange glows that seem to be everywhere.

Observation #001

Specimen: a leaf from Specimen #009

Note: I have colored the green glow that emanates from the leaf.

I have decided to investigate closely this strange phenomenon.

The green glow almost seems to bubble away from the leaf, slowly losing brightness and fading away, I will try and see if I can ascertain the properties of the motes in any way.

Action Effect Obscure glow with a piece of paper Glow can be seen weakly through the paper Obscure glow with 5 pages Glow can be seen very weekly through papers Obscure glow with eyelids ... Glow can be seen, very weakly... Touch glow with pebble from ground Glow seems to not interact at all, passing through the pebble with no effect Touch glow with second pebble (Pebble is small cloudy quartz stone) Glow appears to be trapped inside the stone. The glow follows the stone before dissipating after a longer time than expected Record differences in dissipation time dissipation appears to be slowed by at least a factor of 2 (Note: need proper timekeeping, water clock?) Touch mote with smallest digit Mote Dissipated immediately, finger retained glow

Note: Glow dissipated from digit shortly after

The remainder of the leafs glow dissipated during this time, and I quickly collected another specimen of the exact same type.
