Under the microscope…

I received a very interesting gift for Christmas:  A microscope with which I can examine, in detail, things that I find at El Mesteño.  Since rocks are “one of my things,” naturally, I would want to inspect them more closely.  This image is of a white rock, approximately the size of a quarter in diameter.  It appears to weigh less than what you would expect when you pick it up.  There are small “holes” in it; it has the appearance of being porous.  

This image is one that I captured with my new microscope.  “It is fascinating, Jim.”
