Thanks, Rick! I am hoping this will open up a new line of macro work. Insects and spiders can be interesting but they are not too appealing.

All punning aside, Mark (at least for a minute or two), both of the fossil and 
mineral photos are gorgeous. They're well worth printing LARGE and framing.

K01 with reverse mounted SMC K 24 f3.5, 70 stacked images. I could not position 
a flash well to shoot into the crystal (it is very 3 dimensional) so I used 
ambient light which resulted in a shutter speed of 0.4 seconds per shot. I 
would prefer to use the flash to counter any vibration related blur, but the 
long exposures came out OK.

Comments welcome.
