This crystal filled rock was found somewhere in Illinois or Iowa a long time ago. It's about 4.5 - 5 inches diameter.

Amethyst is a violet coloured quartz, this geode is from the Atlas Mountains in Morocco
Mineral for Macro Mondays
This is my entry to Macro Monday for March 30, 2020 theme Layer. The image is a very small portion of a geode showing the various layering below the quartz crystals on the top right of the image. I use my Olympus macro lens 1:1 setting with no tube.
I hope you like it.
This was a LEGO commission from 2021.
The project ran from the beginning of August to the middle of November and was designed with 2 objectives: a 5" height and a robust structure.
The client referenced Koen's geode moc for its texture, but the final result required a scratch-built design to meet the requirements aforementioned.
Something a little different today. If I can figure out a good way to photograph some of my mineral collection, I hope to post more photos. I do have an album of shots, but most are nothing more than snapshots.
This is a geode from my mineral collection. I cut this one many years ago.

The opposite of a Glitter Ball, in a Geode the shine is inside.
We don't have a great number of items around the house that are exclusively 'decorative' but the couple of Geodes we have are from our travels on the planet.
This Geode is from Morocco.

Seen in a local rock shop. Celestine (the IMA-accepted name)[6] or celestite[1][7][a] is a mineral consisting of strontium sulfate (SrSO4). The mineral is named for its occasional delicate blue color. Celestine and the carbonate mineral strontianite are the principal sources of the element strontium, commonly used in fireworks and in various metal alloys. (from Wikipedia).
I always love how when I look up rocks and minerals on-line the most information that pops up are how spiritual they are or their "healing" powers; how or when to recharge them; and how healthy they will make me. So why am I not perfectly healthy and happy, as I have collected numerous specimens over my 7 decades of life? With all the wonderful vibes, spirits, and feelings of well being, I could be President, although not so orange. :-))

Reversed the images so that the image of the complete geode is the small one and the macro is the large portion.

As a kid I had a very small amethyst stone. What I really wanted though was one of those big beautiful amethyst geodes. The geodes are quite expensive, so I never managed to get one.
Now that I am an adult gemstones still have my interest. The idea to build a LEGO version of an amethyst geode actually occurred to me during my visit to the LEGO House in Denmark. I was putting my Jewelled Egg Collection on display in the Masterpiece Gallery and I was thinking by myself “Wouldn’t it be nice to build something with transparent purple parts?”. As you may be aware the variety of parts in that colour is limited (there are no plates for example). To make it work I would need to build something a lot bigger than a jewelled egg: an amethyst geode!
When I got back home I started designing the amethyst geode which took about a month. It took another two months to collect all the parts and build the model. The amethyst geode contains over 7300 parts. It is 56cm in height, 27cm wide and 15cm deep. I am very pleased with the final result!
This is a photo of three geode slices sitting on a window sill that was taken while intentionally moving the camera vertically during a one second exposure.
Geodes (Greek geoides, "earthlike") are geological rock formations which occur in sedimentary and certain volcanic rocks. Geodes are essentially rock cavities or vugs with internal crystal formations or concentric banding. The exterior of the most common geodes is generally limestone or a related rock, while the interior contains quartz crystals and/or chalcedony deposits. Other geodes are completely filled with crystal, being solid all the way through. These types of geodes are called nodules.
