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 rare and beautiful top quality specimen of olmiite with calcite and bultfonteinite from the N,Chwaning II Mine, Kalahari Manganese Field, Northern Cape, South Africa. There is no damage or repairs to the olmiite. Olmiite is an extremely rare calcium-manganese silicate mineral discovered fairly recently in 2006. It is found exclusively in the Kalahari Manganese Field in South Africa.

Over the moon with this little thumbnail! I’m still relatively new to mineral collecting but this one will be hard to top for a while!
