This specimen is a real eye-catcher, with its thin layer of yellow-green Wavellite crystals shining against a dull gray background. A picture of the whole specimen would look quite flat and monotonous, however. I was ready to give up on this one when I noticed this detail on one side of the stone: the fan structure reminds me of some plant fossils, and the nice color gradient enhances the composition (other crystal groups on the stone show no color gradient). I really like the colors and the textures in this picture.Technical note: A single studio flash with standard silver reflector was placed above and lightly left of the specimen. Nikon F4S, Micro-Nikkor 60mm 2.8, Fuji Velvia.
