Hi all,
Thanks very much for all the nice C&C's on
the geode entry.
Continuing with my rocks, here's a macro of
some Fool's Gold, (Iron Pyrites).
Metallic, cubic crystals, often striated.
Used during the 16th and 17th centuries for ignition in guns,
these days, it is used commercially in the production of paper,
sulphuric acid and photovoltaic solar panels.
It is used in some jewellery, but can't be fashioned into
fine items such as chains.
Quite pleased at the detail my little camera achieved.

Excellent detail indeed! A lovely image, well captured!

Great macro. This reminds me of childhood days -- walking along the shores of Lake Erie (near Bufflao, New York USA).
The limestone caprock would occasionally break free of the cliffs when the underlying shale would erode away.
The caprock was lined on top with iron pyrites and it would glisten in the sun. However, after a while, it would rust and not look so pretty any more.
Anyway -- great shot here. Nicely done.
