    Micro-Photography of Bio-Minerals. Inspiring!

    http://geo.de/GEO/natur/51192.html?t=img&p=1

    Take a look at this gallery. It's awesome how versatile the creations are and what forms they grow into. Just thought someone might want to see this for inspiration. Looks so alien. The first picture is dental enamel.

    Enjoy.

    What struck me most was the fact that when I hear "crystals", I imagine some odd but boring geometric construction with plain sides. But this is so organic. Did you see the Colosseum-one? I mean, wow!

    Be sure to check back on this site btw, they always have some nice photo-tours. I go there mainly for their space galleries, very exclusive hubble-pictures and stuff. There should be something going on after this weeks decision that we now have 12 planets.
