Some of the pictures I found, I can’t tell if they are micro pics or, like the one in the hand, big enough to hold. But I never knew they could all be so breathtaking.

My parents are from a mining town, so I grew up playing with minerals displaying around the house. These are absolutely breathtaking though.
