Quite a colorful set of images. I know little about minerals, though North Carolina is rich in them. There are a few members here who do though and have displayed some interesting ones in the past. :D

Stunningly vibrant colours and beautiful three dimensional compositions too. I can see the fascination with these micro crystals.

These are very beautiful crystals and you captured them very well. The stacking does a great job on the DOF. Your Vanadinite crystals are gem quality compared to the one I posted a while ago.
