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.

Maybe this was the "dino" that produced that piece of Coprolite?

Here is some Moss Agate from an Oregon Thunderegg.  Another Moss Agate Thunderegg, but with thicker moss. I love the colors and patterns in this one!

Here are a couple of cool examples of Petrified Wood.
Did you know we have petrified wood in all 50 states?  This piece if from Eden Valley, Wyoming. Beautiful stuff!   Here is a great example of Arizonas Petrified Wood. I wonder what the petrified wood looks like from your state.
