Mineral Mondays #72 - Mineral Photography

We've been acquiring a lot of minerals over the past few months so I thought it would be a good time to share some of those with you.

The first set of images are from minerals in our shop in Japan.

A cool little scepter quartz from Scepter Hill, Arizona.

Always some of my favorites, Vanadinite I collected in the Geronimo Mine, Arizona.

Topaz from Topaz Mountain, Utah self collected.

An aesthetic pink tourmaline with lepidolite on feldspar from San Diego Mine, California.

Pentagonite from Wagholi Quarry, India.

Cave onyx from Kokoweef, California.

Neptunite(black) with benitoite(blue)

Smokey quartz with a bit of amazonite from Lake Geroge, Colorado.

Wulfenite from Red Cloud Mine, Arizona.

Blue chalcedony thunder egg from Oregon. Do you see the eye?

Those pictures were all taken with our Canon EOS M50. The following were all taken with my Iphone X using a macro lens.

Topaz with bixbyite from Topaz Mountain, Utah.

Pink tourmaline in quartz from San Diego Mine, CA. The fractures are not in the tourmaline, but the quartz behind it. The tourmaline is very translucent(gemmy).

Paul Bunyan Agate from Barstow, California

Quartz on feldspar from the San Diego Mine, California.

Pyromorphite from Bunker Hill Mine, Idaho.
