Crocoite

Hi there


McCaviti here! I’m hosting Tiny Tuesday in September.  This week’s theme is mineral/crystal (tag with #TT484).  The inspiration, like  my journal’s title (an oblique reference to William Blake’s Auguries of Innocence), is  the opening line “To see a world in a grain of sand”. 


... And also, my husband’s collection of mineral specimens and crystals, providing plenty of fodder for my own macro photography. 


Here’s  a crocoite, mineral emblem of my birthplace, Tasmania, on the pages of the wonderful book Crocoite by Margaret Woodward, from the series Lost Rocks. (which I was lucky enough to purchase a complete set of)


So share a pic of your crystalline inspiration, be it pebble, rock, fossil, shell, gemstone, coprolite, snowflake …


The other themes for Tiny Tuesday can be found here  Results will be posted Saturday.
