Ruri Rocks episode 8 recap

Ruri Rocks episode 8, titled The Golden Elegy, saw Ruri teaming up with Shouko for a school research project on pollutants in water. During the research, the girls took a break to look for minerals when Shouko found a peculiar orange rock. Just as they were about to show it to Nagi, Shouko lost the rock. As it was Shouko’s first rock discovery, Ruri asked Nagi to help them look for it.
The anime later saw Nagi and Imari taking Ruri and Shouko for a trip to look for fluorite. After they found it, they started looking for the orange rock. Amidst this, they found an old, rundown factory. Upon further inspection, they found out that the orange rock was zincite formed within the chimney of the factory. While the mineral wasn’t formed naturally, Shouko wished that Ruri would remember it as a positive memory of the two discovering a rock together for the first time.
What to expect from Ruri Rocks episode 9?

Ruri Rocks episode 9, titled Time Capsule of 1.9 Million Tons, will most likely see Ruri Tanigawa and Shouko Seto going out on another mineral hunt with Nagi Arato and Youko Imari.
With both Nagi and Imari busy with their respective research papers, fans can expect the mineral hunt to be related to that. As for the title, fans will have to wait to see what the “19.9 Million Tons” refers to.
