Golden columns of #biotite in #quartz. Field of view = 3.05mm
This type of mica tends to be very gemmy and a beautiful color at this size.

To start the new year, I figured I’d try a micro mineral shot. This is a 2.8mm #garnet #crystal from the Doomsday prospect near De Luz in San Diego County. It’s most likely an almandine-spessartine blend.

this is most likely limonite after hornblende in Mexcian opal.

After many many passes at this stone, it relented and gave me this beautiful, climbing vista.

Going back through my older photos and making these (short) videos is pretty great. It reminds me of how I was feeling when I set up the shot and all the things I was trying to light. Love it.
Short but sweet.
I’ve been working on this image and it’s killing me so I decided to take a break and#animate it! What you’re seeing is all the different focal points I’m utilizing in this image. The movements are called “steps” and in this case the distance between the steps is 0.025mm or 25 microns. Oh, and the field of view is 2mm. (This is a relatively short stack of images at 64)
This is not a dream, it’s a photograph taken through the microscope - a #photomicrograph. The subject is a Mexican opal with a rhyolitic matrix. You’re seeing 3.05mm in width in this photo. If you were to look through my microscope at this opal and light it just so, this is what you’d see.
