Blossoming Flower
Mayo, 2020

This blossoming flower is actually crystalline calcium carbonate (Ca2O3) that has grown on the inside surface of a bottle. This crystal was the result of atmospheric weathering present on the surface and is somewhat unusual in size as compared to others on this bottle and what is normally identified as small hexagonal crystallites. The picture was taken at 2500 X and colorized according to elemental composition.
