A random focus stack i did yesterday, i've only done a few focus stacks (mostly astro focus stacks of Comet Atlas) so i need to practice to make sure i know all the steps before my next workshop...

there were 11 photos in this stack, and i think it still has issues, but sooner or later i've got to figure out how to photograph rocks since i have a huge collection 🤣

A macro photo of some details of a rock crystal cluster with several visible sharp crystal points, the one in the center has a tiny rainbow in it if you squint. The background is dark blue velveteen.  This is one of many I collected in the Hot Springs area of Arkansas in the early 1990s. Photo by Peachfront.

🪨 Tucson Tip: You will leave with a bag full of rocks
We hit up Keno Rocks in Arizona — a gem & mineral heaven.
My carry-on? 35+ lbs of crystals & camera gear. TSA didn’t blink.

I have a bad habit of picking up interesting rocks when I'm out and about. Lately I've been buying decorative jars to put them in. The full jar is what I collected last weekend along a road 😅

a bunch of jars, one of which is full of rocks

Are you a #rockhound, or are you into #rockhounding ?
Many countries call the act of picking up #agates, #rocks or #stones as a collector or collecting them something different.

What does your country call it?

Here's a popular video from my honey & my YouTube channel called Agate Enchantment & Rock Wizardry. It's a good starter video if you're interested in rocks & agates.
Here's that video

Beach just south of #HeartsDelight (i think, i'm not super familiar with that coast!) on the #AvalonPeninsula in #Newfoundland.

P.S. I ran it through Glaze, i'm not sure how devoted i am to doing that yet. But that's why it has a weird texture if you look close.

City of Rocks State Park is one square mile in the Chihuahuan desert of SW #NewMexico. The boulders were deposited on the plains 34.9 million years ago when one of the volcanoes in the Black Range erupted. Camping, mountain biking, stargazing, hiking, wildlife viewing & birding.

A poor kid supported by a divorced working mother, the collections in the local natural history museum seemed out of reach. My brothers and I walked to the museum to wander the glass cases of stuffed birds. Creatures, I thought I'd never see in person. The rocks, many fossils collected only miles away, seemed from distant lands. They filled me with wonder. I collect rocks. I pulled from the earth. This is a piece of agatized wood under UV light.

Last Thursday, July 25, I went to dig for quartz crystals at a site hosted by the Forest Service. I've gone there a number of years. It has become more difficult to find crystals, because of over digging closer to the source rock. The chosen untouched location, turned to failure after hitting over leafing boulders, too big to move. I went to an already dug site, to dig deeper down. There was nothing.
