This is a slice of rock illuminated by polarized light, viewed through a microscope. There were other color patters, I think made by varying the light.
I used to follow a "Microckscopia" accont on the bird site that published these images.
My hope is the person who posted these pics/running that account and I are able to connect here on the fedi because they had the background to know the type and region of the rocks, and to explain what the images contain

What are some other good hashtags to use for these kinds of picture? I have about 150 of them.
