Mineral Mondays #54 Mineral Photos

My wife and I take a lot of mineral pictures for our business website. I thought I would share some of my recent favorite one's with you. All photos are taken by us on a Canon EOS or our iPhones.

Topazolite on clinochlore from Yellow Cat Mine, San Benito County, Ca.

I took this one on my iPhone 7 with a macro lens. I didn't alter the image in any way. I love the contrast. Topazolite is a yellowish andradite garnet.

Vanadinite. Geronimo/Pure Potential Mine, Az. I mined this back in October.

Lastly, fluorescent willemite(yellow/green), calcite(orange/red) & fluorite(purple/blue) at the Red Cloud Mine, Az.

Not the best picture, but it was night and I only had my iPhone. The colors are beautiful though.
