Hard to believe there are beautiful bands inside, helps seeing the lower right edge.

VERY COOL INDEED!! I wish my camera would take close ups. I have some purty neat stuff too. The only problem is I have to put the thickest lens on my visor to see the detail. I'll even put two lenses on sometime. It's really incredibile to find unreal color and pattern that can't be see with the naked eye. I have one piece that looks like it has pink bands in it.But under closer inspection it is pure white bands with blood red spots all through th bands. The red spots are so tiny that it is almost impossible to see them. Oh! and for the gold include quartz.......I must reinterate drool.gif WOW

They sound very cool Jim, we would love to see them!
Remember.....Like anything in life, the more you practice, the better you will get.

Here is a peek inside a Colorado Thunderegg we recently polished.

Awesome thread Denise! happy088.gif Love the close ups. We'll have to get another close up pic of the gold in quartz when it's been through the paces at the CP lapidary shop. biggrin.gif

Here is another close up pic of a specimen we recently finished cleaning.
Twined fluorites and twined smokeys together on microcline matrix.
Fluorites are about 1mm each or so and the smokeys are about 2mm tall or so. jawdrop.gif Tiny lil' buggars, but how sweet!

Keep em' comin' everyone, what neat mineral close up pics have you got stashed away?

Agates from argentina are fantastic! Nice one Bennie, even with its fractures.
It will polish out to be a great display specimen.

Here are a few more Colorado Fluorite pics.
Link also has more info on Fluorites.

Fluorites in these pictures range from 6mm to 3mm.

Here is a closeup of the Thunderegg that was washed out by the pressure washer.
Sure turned out interesting.
