Aug 17, 2011 05:28 | #9 Thanks for looking Brian and Bas. There are many minerals that do this but show different kinds of crystals. I'm looking forward to trying some different kinds. Mitch- ____...^.^...____

Aug 17, 2011 07:14 | #11 Thanks Kurt, yes, but the colors come from the polarized light, not the crystals themselves. Without polarization, they are pretty much just black and white. The polarizer brings out the stresses in the crystals. Mitch- ____...^.^...____
