The more minerals my wife & I take pictures of the more I realize what an art form it is. This Coyamito agate kind of looks like a strawberry.

It takes not only a good photographer to set the lighting, but also to have the eye to capture the mineral specimen in it's best, most attractive position. I know this is a theme throughout photography, but until you actually try to practice it you can't appreciate how difficult it is.

Some rocks just don't want to be shown in a good light and so you just take what you can get.

Others are natural born killers and look good from almost any angle, especially gold!
