Earth Gems V
Strange little rock this is. There are two different types of stone, purplish and then the dark grey. I have no idea what it is but look long enough and it start to take on a life of its own.

Mouldy rock-salt! [grin]
[Note to Ray....drag out that macro lens that you never seem to use, and start shooting close-ups of pebbles, table condiments, etc...they look neat]
Scarlet: Yuck, can you imagine finding this on your food?? Definitely get that macro lens out Ray.
It looks like a geode to me! Not sure the type of mineral though.
Scarlet: Too my shame I have to admit that I don't know. My granddad kept records but they got lost when we moved his collection. The purple looks like amethyst or something like that
Interesting rock formation
Scarlet: Thanks I though so myself. Especially since it looks like there are three different types of stone squeezed into one.
Beautiful capture Scarlet. I like the colours contrast here!
Scarlet: Thank you Richarad. I liked this one because of the different types of stone and texture.
LOVE this one - the pink is great!
Scarlet: Thank you Martie. Isn't that little bit of pink great. It's was so unexpected to find it on this piece of greyish rock.
Loooks like somethingfrom the moon Scarlet
Scarlet: I would love to visit the moon Tracy. Just imagine the photo's of Mother Earth you could take from that angle!!
Interesting, I thought that this was a puppy dog by the thumbnail!
Now you should take all these again when you get your macro lens and see the difference.
Great closeup detail.
I once went to a gem show, expecting nothing and coming away mesmerized by all the colors and shapes. You are certainly right that it sucks you in after a while!
you have done a good job, but really needs a macro lens - you will find a whole new planet in there ;o)
The way I see it, it is crystaline formations. Crystal comes in different colours, including rose crystal. I grew up in a house against a mountain full of sandstone rocks. Some of the bigger ones had a hollow sound and if you opened it, it looked like the grey crystals in your picture. Just larger and you could wash and polish them to become brilliant see-through crystal.
I think you should use that macro, or some viewers won't stop
I like the detail in the grey stone
it's a expensive hobby, isnt it?
