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.

An ugly Agate we found at the Opal Hill mine in California. Love it!!
Layered bubble rings.... Can even see a fire agate bubble twinkle in one of the layers.  Anyone else see it?

I see it! I also see a small heart to the right of that.
Those bubbly macros are very cool! Nice crispy shots and really good work with the lighting.

Thats the spot!
 Some really fun stuff to find. We had a great time prospecting there. Some of the specimens even had dog tooth crystals added to the mix. For lighting, I just brought it out into the bright sunlight.....best lighting I think for photo taking.

Here is a sweet piece of Sodalite with cool inclusions. You can see the blade marks from it being slabbed. It will polish out nicely though.

That's one of the best looking agate close-ups I've seen. It has a little bit of everything... alien landscape, some bubbly, druzy, and even a natural heart hiding in there.
Thanks for sharing that one, very nice!  -------------------- /l ,[____], l---L-OlllllllO- ()_) ()_)--o-)_) BLACK SANDS MATTER! Very Happy CP Lifetime Member CP CORE TEAM Referral Code CE213 |

Thanks Chris it is a really cool slab, just not sure what we are going to do with it yet.
 The slab is much larger, I just zoomed into the part I thought was the nicest......especially since It had a natural heart. Here is another cool closeup........

Here is a sweet closeup of a rough piece of gem grade dinobone. When you zoom into the picture, you can see the different colors and little druzy pockets.
I love those fossils!! -------------------- Education is the key to the future,

Here is a close inside look at an Oregon plume Thunderegg.
You can see that it has a fracture but still a very nice stone!

It is not moss Agate or Marble, but sure has that look a bit. Any more ideas on what it may be just from the closeup picture?
