This is the start of the images of my collection. The postings will start with micro specimens and progress to larger specimens as time allows for photography.

This is the camera set up I use for the micro mineral photography. It is Nikon D300 on a PB-6 bellows. Under the bellows set up is a Newport linear stage with a micrometer drive. The vernier on the micrometer reads in .001mm. Illumination is by a 150 watt halogen fiber optic light with a custom white balance set on the camera. The stage set up allows for course and fine adjustment of the specimen position. I have 2 Nikon achromatic finite conjugate objectives, 4X and 10X, that I use. They are designed for a 160mm tube length but I have used them both longer and shorter than 160mm. The images are stacked using Zerene Stacker. This photo was taken a our local mineral show in November. At home the set up is on a much sturdier bench.

Jordi,
There will be many more to come as time allows. I have 220 species from MSH. Of these 35 have MSH as a type locality. After I finish MSH I will shift to self collected material.

Here are a couple of stereo views of the aegirine and albite posted earlier. They were made using the synthetic stereo function of Zerene Stacker

I was fortunate to be the winner of 16 micromounts from the Centennial Eureka Mine (Blue Rock), Tintic District, East Tintic Mts, Juab Co., Utah, USA. These were collected and donated by John Dagenais.

I put the wrong description on the clinoclase with cornwallite photo, it should be the following.
Clinoclase (dark blue) with cornwallite (blue green spheres) on quartz.
