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.

This is my wife's wedding ring. The wood is ancient Kauri wood 20-50 thousand years old. the inlay is T-rex fossil that was chipped up and set into the wood. Her engagement ring is similar with rosewood and a jade inlay.
