Look through the stone to see double - Like these crossed white lines.
The stone splits light into two polararized rays having slightly different directions - hence the double vision. If the sides appear to be at peculiar angles, they are. Its shape is rhomboidal, rather like the pushed over and skewed box of some valuable purchase that couriers deliver.
'Iceland spar', so named from where it was first mined. A form of calcite or calcium carbonate.
It was possibly the fabled Viking “Sunstone” used by them to steer across the Atlantic in overcast weather. It locates the hidden sun's direction within a degree or so - it's true, I've tried it. More about the Sunstone
For Macro Mondays "Stone" - the stone's diagonal is 2.5 inches and the FOV width 2.8 inch.

Mr. Dusty Pixel's pic put me in a festive mood. It's time to post something colorful! These fabulous moulted scarlet macaw feathers were provided by MaMa, courtesy of SunStones! I sent them (with some of my bird's feathers) to a Hopi kachina carver to use for decoration of his carvings.
(I just opened the envelope and the purple tissue that the feathers were wrapped in and ran to get a photo immediately. I thought these feathers were so wonderful!!)
And a couple of other kitten moments.
I'm going to try trapping tonight again. I didn't catch the cat I was after last night though he/she was there. It went into my trap again, but only about 2/3 of the way in. I will get it, sooner or later. I didn't lay a trail of bait, so I will try that tonight. Sometimes they need a taste of the food to entice them that last bit of the way into the trap....
A Portuguese Water Dog pauses at the water's edge as beachgoers drift through the golden haze of a Pillar Point sunset, their silhouettes stretched long across the sand beneath the towering sandstone bluffs.
I am celebrating International Red Panda Day the only way I know how......WITH THE SQUAD!!!!!!
Huge thanks to my friend Abelia Sunstone(Abelia.Nova). She is an amazing photographer who you should check out!!!
One of the more fascinating focused-stacked mineral sphere macros I've shot thus far, this image brings to my mind the surface of the sun, or lava exploding from a lake of fire... This came from my Cobra Jasper sphere.
Also, given the abstract nature of this image, I find I see a lot of faces there, some of them could come right from a horror movie... The name for this is Pareidolia which is where the brain tries to make sense of an image and to impose structure and order to it ;)
As usual, this was taken using the Cognisys Stackshot. About 40 images stacked and merged using Helicon Focus and processed in Lightroom and Photoshop with tender love ;)
I saw this Black Bear on Hole number 2 at Sunstone Golf Club in Pemberton, BC this afternoon.

Giraffe Plush Mount (Positive Wavelength) -
Centuries ago, an ancient civilization, now lost to the desert and the sands of time, thrived around an oasis. Historical records reveal that a catastrophic drought forced these people to abandon their homes.
In the last century, lost travelers stumbled upon this forsaken oasis, mysteriously finding one of the wells full and allowing them to survive. In time these travelers found other nomads and traders and made a secret market in the deep desert where people from disparate parts of their scattered clans can gather to trade and celebrate together.
You can learn more about the Desert Foxes here.
Carnelian Agate is the centerpiece or this amazing 1 3/4" silver asymetrical pendant
flanked by Garnets, Amethysts,Clear Quartz and Black Onyx. This necklace of Carnelean Agate and Sunstone is 20" long and fastens with a tiny silverplated lock and key toggle clasp.
I took this photo of the Sunstone Winery for an article in Behind the Wines. A wonderful family owned winery near Santa Barbara, California. It's styled after a winery in Provençe, France.
Added the blur effect in Photoshop. Do you think I should burn in the edges a bit?
The original version of this was posted yesterday, and the very 1st comment was from my Flickr Friend, Maria, A.K.A. SunStones. She said she has a vision for this one and did I mind if she did a little post-production on it. I said sure, have at it. Well, she did and this is it. We both feel it has that real Rembrandt Vibe going on. Good work, Maria.
Maria, your heart is torn now, but Gwee is watching over you now, and she would'n't want you to suffer.
At Christmas I took a special present for my parents' cats. Miss Pepper designated herself to be the representative for the cats.
The strange appearance of white dust that began to coat Sunstone Pass, and rumors of explorers and scouts going missing amongst the mountain, sparked rumors and fear.
One such rumor was of a huge giant that roamed the mountain, leaving snapped trees and sundered earth in its wake.
It was mere rumor until one pair of explorers came face to face with the creature.
Only one returned, with the horrifying explaination for the fine white ash of the pass.
It was bone. Bones of the unfortunate souls who encountered this mountain giant, smashed and pulverized until they were nought but sprinkled white amongst the mountainside.
People abandoned the mountain, lest they run across the giant, now known as Tor'vag, and find themselves strewn across Stonesun Pass.
Mt. Aktet has not been scaled since. It and the pass belong to Tor'vag now.
A trio of gold and teal polymer clay rondells are kept company by a lovely set of faceted sunstones and aventurines. Separated by goldpalted washers and round beads this rich assembly ends off with a pretty pewter toggle. Approx 7-1/2" from end to end
