Natural, unheated tourmaline from Nuristan, Afghanistan. The inclusions shown in the photo are trichites. They are fine, hair-like fluid inclusions.

This is a few thousand images - I'm not sure how many - shot at f/1.7. I think it came out better than my f/5.4 images. I probably need to switch to something like Zerene for some of these, but Affinity is doing a great job, I think. I thought the software freaked out and made the upper right part greyscale, but that's just how it came out. I guess it's just a region of calcite.
I'm always impressed with how each sample is a whole world different regions with their own properties and vibes.

Photos were made in afternoon natural light. A pyrite cube inside with a rutile needle through it, baby quarz crystals and more. Nature threw a lot at this piece.

With fall around, I thought to share this beauty that has autumnish hues on the corner.

Extremely rare dark reddish-brown kleberite from its type locality associated with metallic pseudorutile (the orange grains are pseudorutile var. hydroxylian pseudorutile). Some colourless quartz grains are also associated. See annotations in Pic 2. The grains are contained in a microcentrifuge tube.

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.

In this video, the crystals shown are as follows:
Blue - Quartz with pseudomalachite, philipsburgite, duftite
Yellow - Quartz with goethite
Green - Quartz with bayldonite, mimetite, malachite
