Some more rocks...

I took these pics shortly after I got my macro lens (about 18 months back) and recently rediscovered them. I thought they'd fit in with the theme of my pebbles thread

Crystals:

I like Amethyst, I've seen some awesome rocks embedded with it.

Thanks Brian! Sodalite is a pretty rare stone. I believe its only found somewhere in Italy, Russia and n Nambia (where these frogs came from).

Thanks Skippy. I should maybe think of washing the things before taking their pics

Thanks Graphy! The advantage of taking pics of rocks and stones is that they're totally immovable - a macro photog's dream
