Please let me know something about these chrystals and what you do with them. Is it scientific pursuits or art? Please reply MB I am interested in photographing them for artistic effects, more than for scientific purposes. They make excellent subject matter for abstracts. A wide variety of crystals can be used. In a polarized beam they redirect the light in different directions, due to changes in the speed the light travels at different angles of crystal orientation. This gives the dazzling display of colors when viewed through a second polarizer, oriented at right angles to the first. - -GH
