I notice all the Euro names, and wonder what it is that most of the best photomicrographers are out of Europe... patience, access to the best lenses, willingness to spend 20k on gear, spare time, or what, puzzling.

Needs mineral name and locality, stat.

This would be the start of a truly fabulous wall poster, say a meter across, each image 15 cm or so... is it feasible!]]> Tim Jokela Jr Mineral Photography Tue, 05 Jun 2012 02:56:03 +0000 http://www.mindat.org/forum.php?read,13,206991,261829#msg-261829 Re: Best of Mindat micro photos http://www.mindat.org/forum.php?read,13,206991,261829#msg-261829
Would this Osilio amethyst photo by Volker Betz be good?
