I love closeup pictures, so I thought a thread for some would be fun.
 Here is a cool piece of Colorado Goethite.  Colorado Zeolite.  A nice Tube Agate from Del Norte Colorado.  I would love to see any closeup pictures you may have.

I got me a new toy yesterday. It's a hand held camera that takes super closeups. The first pic is tiny tubes in the edge of a botswana cab. These tubes can be see in the base of Denises little snowman. The second pic is of banding in a guitar pick. You can see the shadow effect in it. Also botswana. The third pic is of some really colorful lace agate. The last pic is of another banded agate cab that I have. The larger red spots in this pic are just barely visible with the naked eye.
