Another macro shot of amethyst crystal specimen.
Amethyst is a type of quartz, crystalline silicon dioxide (SiO2), which contains inclusions of iron on the crystal.
This view focuses on a transition from the purple crystal to a yellow-clear crystal, and the greenish rock matrix.

Two Central Florida photographers with an interest in nature, landscape, bird, flower, space, technology, and architecture photography.
A cluster of flowers on a society garlic plant. The tulbaghia violacea, though sometimes called “wild garlic,” is not garlic and may be mildly toxic in high doses, though the Zulu people of Africa, where the plant is native, use its leaves as a kind of salad green.
This macro view highlights a small number of small, purple flowers on top of a stalk, with the background harshly out of focus, giving the appearance that the flowers are supported by nothing and simply hang in the middle third of the image.
