Peridotite under the microscope

Description

Thin section of peridotite rock composed of olivine and pyroxene minerals. Picture taken with a regualr digital camera through the lense of a polarisation microscope (= those are not the natural colors of the mineral, but caused by polarized light).

I came across pictures I took in petrology courses, 2007.

What I find amazing is I'm quite sure most folks thought it was altered and reassembled fall leaves, I did, then to find out what it actually is, kind of leaves me with the full circle feeling, nature Even when striped of mysticism, Gods and nostalgia is still a creative and adapting program we will never be able to mimic.
