	Wow, that first picture is super awesome! I really love the way the hematite makes those tadpoles in the quartz. Definitely thanks for sharing. More please.

	Took the words right out of my mouth, Scott. That first pic looks like a slice of Kiwi fruit, or something.... Cool stuff, Jim, and I'm glad to see you working the bugs out of the picture taking. 2 out of 3 is on par with me. Joe

	I probably should start a whole new thread for this piece instead of jumping on ReelMiners post, but I don't mind opening it up and having to look at that first pic again and again. This is a cluster of Hematite included Quartz that I came across in an old collection. Locality is not known but would guess Brazil. Now I'm sure there's atleast one or two "spheres" of Hematite in focus in these shots.......... but please don't go blind looking for them. Joe

	Nice one there...This is my go on what i have found ..Alot of my crystals are made up of 2 to 3 crystals..You will have the spec hema on the inside and the needles in the 2nd or 3rd has the hema moving to the crystal to lay on it ..I think the needles are the spec hema being stretched as cooling takes place..I guess had it finished the process i would have only spec hema on the inside crystals....

	Wow! The specimen in photo 1 is phenomenal (for me). Love that. What is the perspective? Is this a slice or are we looking at the bottom of the crystal? Thanks for sharing.
