Amethyst
Amethyst is a violet variety of quartz.
The name comes from the Koine Greek ἀμέθυστος amethystos from ἀ- a-, "not" and μεθύσκω methysko / μεθύω methyo, "intoxicate", a reference to the belief that the stone protected its owner from drunkenness. The ancient Greeks wore amethyst and carved drinking vessels from it in the belief that it would prevent intoxication.
Amethyst is a semiprecious stone often used in jewelry and is the traditional birthstone for February.

Narrowleaf cottonwoods provide the autumn color.
At a higher resolution you can see the old roads built by miners looking for gold and silver long ago, and used today by people looking for semiprecious stones such as aquamarines, agates and smoky quartz.

Cappella dei Principi is the mausoleum of the Grand Dukes of Tuscany and their families and is part of the museum complex of the Medici Chapels of Florence, adjacent to the Basilica di San Lorenzo.
The Chapel was based on the idea that the Grand Duke Cosimo II de' Medici wanted to create a monument for a family tomb. Work began on the tomb under Grand Duke Ferdinando I de' Medici who appointed architect and sculptor Matteo Nigetti in 1604, based on a design by Don Giovanni de' Medici, brother of the Grand Duke himself. Nigetti completed the mausoleum in 1640. He was assisted by architects Alessandro Pieroni and Don Giovanni de' Medici, Ferdinand's half-brother.
It has a large dome and marble interior. The octagonal room is 28 metres wide and is surmounted by the dome of San Lorenzo, which reaches a height of 59 metres, the second most majestic in the city after Filippo Brunelleschi's dome.
During the first half of the eighteenth century, Italian noblewoman Anna Maria Luisa de' Medici, financed the construction of the large windows and cupola, and the internal decoration of the vault, which was executed by the painter Pietro Benvenuti between 1828 and 1837. The Chapel flooring of semiprecious stone inlay was only completed in 1962.
The octagonal room is almost entirely covered with stones and different-coloured marbles. The six porphyry sarcophagi of the Grand Dukes are contained in niches along the walls and complemented by bronze statues. The interior has rich inlays in commesso, also referred as Florentine mosaic, a method of piecing together semi-precious stones. The practice was started in 1588 by the famous artistic workshops, Opificio in Florence, using colored stones, mother of pearl, lapis lazuli, and coral to reproduce the coats of arms of the sixteen Tuscan cities loyal to the Medici family. The paintings in the dome are of the Creation, All, Dealth of Abel, Sacrifice of Noah, Nativity, Death and Resurrection, Last Judgment, are by Pietro Benvenuti.
The statues of the grand dukes for Ferdinand I and Cosimo II de' Medici were made by Pietro Tacca performed between 1626 and 1642. The other grand ducal tombs belong to Cosimo I (1519-1574), Francesco I (1541-1587), and Cosimo III (Succeeded Ferdinand II, 1643-1723). The Church of the Holy Sepulchre was to be located in the center of the atrium, although the various attempts to buy or steal it from Jerusalem failed.
The sarcophagus are actually empty and the real remains of the Grand Dukes and their family members (about fifty major and minor) up to Anna Maria Luisa de' Medici (last heir of the dynasty, 1667-1743), are kept in simple rooms created in the floor of the underlying crypt
From behind the altar there is access to a small room where other precious relics are displayed, some of which were donated to the city by Pope Leo X.

Since I could not find a zebra or a ziggurat for a macro, I once more raided my wife's jewelry box. Now, this is astonishing -- this is really a pale blue zirconium, given to her as a gift when she was a child. So, I was looking for a nice pale blue outcome. When I looked at the RAW files from my Leica D-Lux 6, they were green. I thought, well, must be the white balance. However, every single change I made still yielded green. Perhaps the shade of Saint Patrick was playing tricks on this 17th of March? Well, whatever. Zirconium, for your pleasure.

The Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood is one of the main sights of Saint Petersburg, Russia.
This church was built on the site where Emperor Alexander II was fatally wounded by political nihilists in March 1881. The church was built between 1883 and 1907. The construction was funded by the imperial family.
The Cathedral is decorated with Italian limestone and various semiprecious stones like jasper, mountain crystal, topaz, and others. On the outside, there are twenty granite plates which tell the most important events of Alexander II's reign.
The highlight of both the interior and exterior of the Cathedral are its mosaic collection based on the paintings of Vasnetsov, Nesterol, and Vrubel. With a total area of 23130 square feet, it is one of the largest mosaic collections in Europe.
A semiprecious mineral labradorite exhibits marked colors depending upon the angle upon which it is viewed. The phenomenon is called labradorism and is caused by tiny crystals in the stone.
This was the most difficult item on the list this month for me to capture. I kept trying different things and settled for this.

This Victorian double bow brooch is French and was made in the last two decades of the Nineteenth Century. It is made of 15 carat gold, and features 32 seed pearls and five turquoises. Beautifully crafted, it is very feminine in style.
Private collection.
The theme for "Look Closely... on Friday" on Friday 24th of April 2020 is "bow". I did have a photo of a bow on a box and then I remembered that a friend had this beautiful bow brooch that I had admired over the years. The owner has been kind enough to lend it to me to photograph.
A tiny piece of amethyst. The entire picture is just over one inch.
“Amethyst is a purple variety of quartz (SiO2) and owes its violet color to irradiation, iron impurities (in some cases in conjunction with transition element impurities), and the presence of trace elements, which result in complex crystal lattice substitutions.The hardness of the mineral is the same as quartz, thus it is suitable for use in jewelry.” Wikipedia
The Thunder Bay area has several amethyst mines where you can go and pick your own.
Happy Macro Monday everyone!

Selection:
Oh lonely dreamer
Your choker provokes
A picture of cameo
Oh Mother of Pearl
So, so semiprecious
In your detached world
Oh Mother of Pearl I wouldn't trade you for another girl
