Three of the entries stood out to me the most and made it a little difficult to select a winner, but it was good to see multiple competitive images.

cameragod93 - I like that stone! The curved side juxtaposed against the vertical edge flanked by the two angular sides on the bottom. The color is unique; I wonder which mineral is responsible for that? I recommend that you NEVER invite me to your house becauser I might just walk off with that stone!  :p

Old Crow (Don) - Interesting shot Don, are those quartz crystals? My eyes see a frog sitting upright in the middle of the shot.

Levina - nicely staged shot - you put some work into that!

And the winner is.... cameragod! When can I stop by?  :p

Honorable mention goes to Don.

Take it away cameragod!

Thanks for the HM. Those were epsom salt crystals.
