I just found this web site. It is so cool and I wanted to contribute. I'm don't know what the bright colors are from. Maybe soil mineralization. Anybody out there have ideas? Part of the second picture shows the inside of the specimen.

I'm really happy about how fast my picture got on the calendar. Must not be much competition ;)
