Here is an amazing macro photo of a Lake Superior Agate from Michigan. This photo shows the phenomenon known as parallax.
The sharp angles appear to have depth or height depending upon the optical view, but are actually perfectly flat. This specimen was found in host rock, removed, cut on a lapidary saw, polished on a flat lap, and finally photographed by the author. Each agate specimen is as unique as a snowflake.

This is so beautiful! Do you go rock hunting on a regular basis?
As often as possible! Everything I have posted so far is self collected. Thanks!
Good for you! I have no talent to find the right stones in nature but I can appreciate them once they are cut and shown to me :)
I spend more time prospecting than i do collecting. It definitely takes work.
Quite interesting pattern.
Mesmerizing! I love agates!
I have many more agates coming. Stay tuned. 😀
I can't wait!
