I stumbled upon a photo on Flickr by www.stuckincustoms.com and was so moved by the photo. It is amazing! The photo reminds me that even after the worse storm, a beautiful calm and peace will exist.
So, whether you're weathering a storm or just having a bad day, remember that there's an end in sight and things always have a way of working out for the best.
These earrings are made out of 14/20 gold filled wires and formed into a marquis shape. Fine guage gold filled wires were wirewrapped over the form and Mystic Blue Quartz rondelles were added to the interior. On the bottom, is a lush cluster of more Blue Quartz rondelles and tiny Gray Blue freshwater pearls. At the very bottom is a large Blue Quartz heart briolette.
The earrings measure 1/2 inch wide and 2 inches high (from the top of the earwires to the bottom of the cluster).
Just one of the many geological features that make Gros Morne National Park so interesting. This one is at the foot of Shag Cliff.

I'm not used to post mineral photos on my flickr account, for this sort of photos I prefere to use my mindat profile
( www.mindat.org/gallery-48279.html ) but I really love this one. I think it is one of my best mineral shot I've taken until now so I'd like to share it with all of you.
Taking photos to complicated objects as minerals in a studio is a true challenge for a photographer, especially when they're very transparent and gemmy as this one.
You have to play with the artificial lights to get the reflections you want on the crystal faces but being careful to dull the lights so you don't get too strong reflections.
You also have to master the focus stacking technique sometimes taking more than 50 photos in a row to the same crystal!
In the end, at least for my experience, you have to play with Photoshop to make a nice background and a realistic reflection which is a huge part of the job, sometimes taking hours and hours of work.
I found this piece in the bush many years ago and I still don't know what it actually is. It's about an inch thick 26mm and too heavy and too cold for fiberglass and is beautiful cobalt blue when held up to the light. Personally I think it's volcanic glass! Either way it is a great conversational piece and beautiful to look at. It has a great home in my Bower bird nest.
It's been a little while since my last upload, I have a backlog of images partly processed from this winters trips to finish and should be uploading quite regularly over the spring and summer months
This image was made last week in Fuerteventura, where I was hosting a workshop
One thing that struck me, on reflection, is the vastness of locations like this, it's completely different to my normal situation, where I have defined subjects and quite often limited angles to shoot from, I usually find myself fine tuning compositions. Here the compositions are endless and that in itself is quite daunting.
Anyway some techy info

This rather larger Quartz rock kind of reminded me of some snow capped mountains I viewed in Wyoming. This rock is located near Raymond, MS.
Radiolarian Chert Quartz - Hearst San Simeon State Beach Ca - Chert is primarily a hard sedimentary rock composed of billions of microscopic, silica rich skeletons (Radiolaria). The skeletons are not made of quartz, but after burial, compaction, and chemical changes, the silica rich sediments transform to quartz. The word “knocker” is a regional geologic term used to describe lone outcrops of bedrock that rise above the surrounding landscape in areas typically underlain by the Franciscan Complex.
Milky quartz is the most common variety of crystalline quartz. The white color is caused by minute fluid inclusions of gas, liquid, or both, trapped during crystal formation.
This specimen measures 18 x18x16 mm. The photo is a composite of 21 photographs combined using Helicon Focus DOF software.

Like sea grass in an aquarium Epidote crystals are included into the Quartz crystal, The fragile Epidote crystals formed on the host matrix then a Quartz crystal like a protective case formed over them saving them forever from the wear and tear of nature, all the Epidote crystals outside the Quartz have long since worn away.
