The super macro guessing game (2)

[Chet]

nut roll?

[DrMitch]

A fleas cha cha?
(sorry, been a long day!)

[irispatch]

Ok time for hint..
Edible well sort of you would not eat one whole, but use one to add flavor to something. But it is not a peppercorn. It is not sweet though it can be used in sweets. It can be used for other things besides food .
Keep guessing

[irispatch]

Humm ya all been awful quiet.. here is a slightly different view. Plus hint
It might look soft but it isn't.

[lavanut]

The clues were a big help. I'll have a new one up before long.
I've been away from the thread for a while & it's nice to be back!!

[irispatch]

LOL yeah it was kinda hard the close up really showed a lot of detail I never noticed before.. plus I haven't been playing for a while either, good to see things picking up.
Now to go play some more

[lavanut]

LOL yeah it was kinda hard the close up really showed a lot of detail I never noticed before..

I confess I would have never thought of cloves without the hints...

OK.. here you go. I finally got to play with some of my new "toys" from Christmas (reversing ring, macro flash bracket). Here's one from today, fresh off the computer. It may not be hard for some of you, but I now have a few more pix in waiting for next time....

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj195/dr_mitch/IMG_3027.jpg

[3Turner]

Cool, but I don't have a photo ready. If someone else wants to take it go right ahead, otherwise I can get one up in the AM.

[lavanut]

A lucky guess on my part (especially since I don't use that kind).

If you have one of these, it may be a simple pic too. If not, it may be a bit harder. (The color was not changed in PS.)

I was gonna say crushed copper sulfate crystals...

But umm i donno.

[lavanut]

I was gonna say crushed copper sulfate crystals...

But umm i donno.

No, not a bad guess tho, considering the color...
This is an intact object, not crushed in and of itself, though crushed material does appear to comprise it.
