Inner life of Gems

This is a great site that has photomicrographs (photographs taken with a microscope) of super thin sheets of birthstone gems. They are so beautiful! Some of my favorites are:
Opal
Diamond (which looks like a super angular womb room)
Garnet
Pearl (lettuce from Mars?)

    this just taught me that i've been saying my birthstone wrong for my whole life. Peridot (pronounced pair-a-doe, not pear-a-dot) yikes!
