	Fool's gold
	3/52 for the group 2015 Weekly Alphabet Challenge This week's theme was: C is for Crystal As I'm married to a geologist, we do have some interesting crystals around but due to lack of time I had to grab the handiest specimen which is a lump of slate with one surface covered in iron pyrites (fool's gold). For some reason this shot didn't come out very golden looking, but it does show the cubic shape of the crystals quite nicely. Current Mood: tired

I love the colors, and no, it doesn't look like pyrite, but that just makes it more interesting. When I teach on rocks at the nature center where I work, I usually bring pyrite in because the students can see the cubic shape so well. And of course, they want to know if it's gold...
