Today I did some exercise in taking pictures of details of my cabs. Needless to say my Priday Mass Agate cabs were starring.
But I also took some pics of different rocks. Like this Owyhee jasper. It's really a nice material to work with. The cab:
And a detail of the pattern:
I tried again my Ocean Jasper cab, to get a better image of the orbs:
Then I switched to some fortified agate cabs from Mexico. I like this material. There's some red moss in very slightly purplish agate with very fine banding. It make nice cabs, but also great macro-pics:
But let's move to the Priday Moss. This is probably my new favorite cab:
There's some interesting stuff inside:
But there are other cabs with interesting inner worlds. This cab. for example, has some more milky agate and few "moss" fibers (both green and red, like the cab above):
This cab has a little area with banded agate and green moss:
This one has some nice red "coral" :
Some moss is not fiber-like, but more similar to kelp and similar algae:
EXCEPTIONAL shots Marco!!! CONGRATS!!!! ciao alberto
Yes, absolutely great! So much for 'opaque' stones being boring under the microscope Now, the question is whether your Ocean Jasper sample and mine came from the same beach....
