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.

Beautiful ring and great history behind it! I lost the Diamond out of my wedding ring washing specimens several years back.
 It crushed me, but that is exactly what we plan on doing....using a stone we find to replace it.  That closeup picture is not of a granite counter top Caveman. It is a larger cabachon CP's grandpa was working on but never finished it. I'm guessing he saw the fracture in it and just tossed it in a collection he had of fractured half worked stones. I also have on of those.  I have been trying to take some of the stones and rework them. We give them to his mom, she loves the pieces especially after he wraps them.We think it is Dendritic Opal from Wyoming.  Very cool stuff! Took me forever to figure out what it was, but CP knew right away when he saw the piece.  Most of the ones we're seeing online don't have this mustard color though.
