Looks more like mirror photo, same on both sides.

Agree with Wayne. Even the attached matrix bits are the same.

No mention was made of quantum mechanics.

I have nothing against art, even when it doesn't suite my tastes. The Mona Lisa is just ugly.

Just because we don't appreciate an artist (for whatever reason) is no reason to mean nasty. Art should be encouraged. Perhaps instead of degrading the post it would be more appropriate to welcome the poster to Mindat, and direct them to the appropriate forum (if one exists) for mineral art.

Steve is right... Nothing wrong with art.

And did anyone even notice that we are in the "Mineral Art" forum here? Claude posted his picture in the right place: the Mineral Art forum. Those who don't like it, don't need to be reading posts in the Mineral Art forum.

A scratch on a rock, if intentional, is "technically" art (or so it was asserted in my philosophy of art course)

This is simply a mirrored image in photoshop, Yet we hear it suggested . . . "For the past few years I've been spending my spare time developing a hobby I call Quantum Sculpture," "Other than the tools I bring to the table, and a bit of math, I don't add anything to the specimen". "This is all hematite. Its facets have simply been 'sculpted', like a stone". I'm not going to go to deep into my process as quantum mechanics is pretty weird, there are biz considerations, and so on.

????

I've nothing against the image, just the cock and bull that came with it.

Took all of 20 seconds . . . hope I'm not violating any copyright here, employing someone elses complex process . . . pure Barite that apparently I also "sculpted" with math.
