Hi Felipe!
I hope you are not too exhausted by your work. Superb crystal! Perfect shape and dimensions. You choose very suitable BG for this jewel. Picture in WS is even better ;-) 'Eye of the crystal' ;-) I looked at ebay and you are right - very low prices. Maybe I buy one. One question - how large is the cube?

Hello Philipe and Happy Easter! Good to see your work again. Very interesting subject - how these minerals crystalize at perfect right angles to form these seemingly man-made perfect cubes. You've done a superior job of representing it here. Well done!

As with the fungi you have succeeded in posting another interesting photo, Felipe. Unbelievable that its not polished or cut in anyway. Perfect nature... :) Great shot, perfect composition and details for this "studio shot".

Hi Felipe
This pic shows clearly why it is called Fools Gold!. instead of iron. Beautiful BG and compliments the cube very well, THS.
I go some fungus on dung, also a big, fat bracket fungus. Will post later, when my time is also more available.

Hola Felipe,
Estaba buscando el nombre de una seta que he fotografiado y me he tropezado con este cubo bellísimo. Excelente iluminación en ambas imágenes. Estas geometrías que revelan externamente la estructura de cristalización me fascinan.
Curiosamente has adjetivado de narcisista al cubo y hoy mismo he publicado un narciso.
Por cierto no he encontrado la seta; cuento con tu ayuda para cuando la publique.
Un saludo,
José M.

Hi Felipe,
Wow! That is absolutely amazing, it definitely proves that man did not invent the cube, the Japanese certainly came up with the game cube but not the shape. Really cool, I wouldn't mind getting one of those for my glass case display. I checked out your ebay link, very tempted. TFS. :
