Sweet rocks! I'm guessing you didn't "detect" them?

 

[Ron B]

Wow, how interesting!
What is the blue showing in the upper right corner of pic #3?
Are these colors natural or, filtered lens induced?
I now nothing about rocks/geology but pretty is pretty no matter the shade!

GRB: You mean the flowers?? :P
Azurite is often blue in color.

Lovely specimens for sure!!!

Hello EU!
Actually, I like those flowers also but my question was regarding what appears to be turquoise colored sky right above!

The blue you see is all natural in the rock,it is everywhere. There is no trick photography or lens filters used, the photo was taken with a HTC cell phone / camera.

golden royboy was asking about the third picture with the blue in the upper right corner, that is the sky, and those green things are plants. I tried to fit everything into the photo but I am too close, with no room to back up without falling off of the mountain side, this spot is way off the beaten path up the side of a very steep mountain side.

That's a different find, but very cool still.

That's nice Dan!

I'd like a bit to try and slice and polish up...

PM me if you do wish to share a bit of it.

Thanks,
