closer on grain

this is to show the fine-grain nature of this polished specimen of petrified wood - the finer-grained quartz crystals that have replaced the wood cells are at different angles, following the grain, which is part of the reason the shadow effect is demonstrated. I will take this specimen to the HGMS show this week to show to those interested.
