I like the fact that you are posting to this thread and that was a good picture, but you left your screen icons on it. If you can edit your pictures a bit before you post them I would like them a lot more. I would just trim them off and no one but me would ever know I did that. If you have a snapshot tool just don't include the icons when you select the part of the picture you want to post.

This is a photomicrograph of a thin section of ocean jasper, a variety of jasper found only in Madagascar, characterized by small spherical aggregates (spherulites, or “orbs”), just a few millimeters in diameter, that derive from the transformation of former volcanic flows of tuffs or rhyolites. Being mined out, ocean jasper is becoming among the most collectible stones for lapidary. I had long been searching for affordable samples of ocean jasper, [and then] I saw a necklace in a market stall. I bought it, cut all the beads (of some disappointment to my wife), prepared thin sections from them, and put them under the microscope. They turned out to contain a microscopic garden of flowers of quartz in a fine-grained silica matrix, like in this image, by many named the Sunflower. Spherulites are among the most interesting subjects I have worked with: They can be single or in clusters, made of fibrous or crystalline silica, with or without opaque-rich cores. They demonstrate how variegated and exciting rocks can be, when observed from within.

The image is a bit blurry but it's still purdy, lol...
