are they your own crystal specimen?
if so could you do this one laying flat as a horizontal picture?
(it would bug me having the stood-up on with the reflection on the side)

weird how what amounts to a waste product (in that case it's silicon carbide - and a really nice example of it too) can be both so interesting and strangely beautiful at the same time

I have a huge curated collection of about 3000 images of this kind, would be willing to share but my bandwidth is limited,

so it would need to be worth it,

I'm either looking for a pack of high quality art images like Adolf Hiremy, or high quality anime pack images like あすてろid on pixiv

>Fordite, also known as Detroit agate or Motor City agate, is a lapidarist term for polished pieces of finely-layered paint masses from automobile factories. The masses consist of automotive paint which has hardened sufficiently to be cut and polished. It was formed from the buildup of layers of enamel paint slag on tracks and skids on which cars were painted with acrylic lacquer, which have been baked numerous times. In recent times the material has been upcycled into jewelry.

>Some sources classify Fordite as a mineral. Fordite is notable for the way it displays "the history of the American automotive industry," both to illustrate the changing colors of car paint as well as the transformation and disappearance of the Ford motor factories in Detroit.
