Pretty rocks of the day: More fluorite

[stephbg]

More fluorite, because I can. You've seen some of these before in various forms (here and here), but I'm getting better at taking pictures :-)

Have I mentioned that this was the project I had in mind when I bought this particular camera *mumblemumble* years ago? For those playing at home it's a 4 mega pixel Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ1 and has a 6x optical zoom and a nifty macro function that's doing most of the work. Perhaps fortunately I seem to need daylight, so that's slowing my pace a little. Just a little.

Very Picasso-esque :)

I had a Monet last week, and a crazy lace agate that looks like Aboriginal art. Let me know if you spot any more. I could probably scare up a Pollack or a Seurat.

There's heaps! :D

The bismuth puts me in mind of Klimt.

Mmm cuboid crystals.
