One of the more fascinating things I have photographed was this rock made from something similar to Mica, but not really.

Is it just me or it this really cool? It is easily damaged when touched, though. Quite literally flaking apart.

I see you got a piece of the rock. Looks cool with the reflections.

You really took that photo?

You really took that photo?

Yeah ... what is this? Look ... I do this for fun, okay. There is no money in it. I just hoped to inspire someone ... or two.

Look, here's another angle ... not quite as effective, but you should get the idea.

It truly is one of the best lighting subjects I ever had to work with ... LOL

The shame is that it is so fragile, I'm afraid to touch it. :eek:

Yea, it does look very fragile. Pretty cool star effects.
