Beautiful! thankyou for telling were it forms!
This is an incredible shot! I have just stumbled upon your gallery and I am really enjoying the shots of your specimens. I am also a mineral collector and have a pretty extensive collection. I haven't been very successful in photographing them however.
Wonderful mineralogy shot! It looks very great zooming in! All the structures of the crystals are visible. Great catch!
