The stunning photomicrographs (images taken using magnification to see details in or on gem materials) are simply amazing.
And here is another one for you, a trapiche-like amethyst with syngenetic hematite inclusions.
The stone is placed between crossed polarising filters which causes the interference colours.
The image is a stack of 31 images and a magnification of 20x.
Fabulous!
