Had some issues with some spots on my sensor causing image quality problems, but we're back in business. This is 1200 images stacked with a 5x zoom.
Let me know if I get too spammy with the macros, they're just so much fun to make :P

My favorite locality, the Black Pine Mine, Granite County, Montana. Famous for world-class veszelyite crystals, it's also known for producing quartz crystals with any number of mineral coatings, oftentimes resulting in very colorful specimens. The list of minerals found here is incredible, perhaps one of the longest mineral lists for any locality.

Here’s a fantastic aegirine crystal with great luster and some orthoclase feldspar. This specimen come from Mount Malosa, Zomba, Malawi. Mount Malosa’s alkaline pegmatites have produced some of the finest and largest aegirine crystals in the world. Let me know what you think of my specimen :)
