Andesite — Spokane River — The Black Moon

I pulled this one off the Spokane River bar. Black matrix, with feldspar clouds running through it, and hornblende crystals piercing straight through those clouds. Under the loupe they make microscopic feathers. You can't see them with the naked eye. You have to look. The Spokane River Collection →
