 Moonstones collected from Moonstone Beach in Cambria, California. Quick shot with my macro; had to get the stones wet to show off their colors. Should have reshot in my light tent to remove the reflections and hot spots, but FI, ran out of time to shoot. Probably should pull this shot, but what the heck, let it ride. Predicting about a 5.5. Lets see if it can beat my average.

I like it and gave it a good score. I don't mind the hot spots. They just show that the stones are wet. That big frame works nicely too.

I feel like I am looking right into the box of rocks. Great lighting and I love the varying colors and textures.
