Examining a very interesting combination of inclusions in Citrine this week. What we see here are hematite needles with multi-spine hematite inclusions on top of these needles. Both hematite needles and multi-spine hematite inclusions can also be found separately in Amethyst and Citrine.
Photomicrographs are taken under varying illumination environments and they appear very different yet beautiful under each environment setting.
Illumination techniques applied: Dark-Field Illumination, Oblique Fiber-Optic Illumination, Horizontal Fiber-Optic Illumination and a combination of them all.
