Here is a close up of a plume agate slab. Plume looked pink till you cut into it and then it was red inside.....

Experimenting with new macro stuff for Nikon DSLR plus polarizer filter, controlled 5K lighting and manual settings. Maybe too much depth-of-field in this image. I might try this shot again with natural sunlight and different settings... that is, if we ever see the sun up here again. char060.gif

This is a Colorado Fluorite on Microcline specimen.

I'm learning geology (self-taught --the reason for the novice questions) and the picture of the Mexican thunderegg above looks like a geode, doesn't it? At least it does from this angle.

Thanks,
Silky

That's a fantastic close up of your Fluorite specimen Chris!! thumbsupsmileyanim.gif Fluorites and Pet wood are 2 of my favorites and those are spectacular examples of Pet wood Silky. The Mexican Thunderegg is a pretty cool one. A Geode would have a pocket/cavity where crystals can form. Thundereggs are normally solid inside.

Thanks for sharing the pics Chris and Silky, very cool!

Going through my Clear Creek cons and a little bitty golden ball rolled across my pan. Broke out my Tokina 100mm macro and this is what I found! 8)
Took a couple shots with a reverse 50mm lens added on and then went and ordered one of the USB microscopes I've been talking about getting forever... so better pics will follow.

Update: Someone on FB just suggested it is road paint with reflective beads. I thought the color looked right for gold, but being that small, this seems to make sense!
