Quartz with arenite texture.

It's an odd TS, I like it.


Roger, can we pick up any indication of who's naughty or nice from this thin section?

Hi Vic,
It's a nice thin section. Quartz are gray-bluish grains. The black spots correspond to grains of quartz in extinction. Stilpnomelane happens to be the brain of Santa Claus.
At least, that's what I see in this TS.

As an atheist, I dont't want to wish something for a Christian event, so let me say:
I hope you all have nice holidays and a wonderful time and of course a really good year 2017 - full of luck, fun, health and crystalline treasures :-)

Regards
Tobi
