When I look at an inclusion scene in a gemstone, I feel like I’m transported to another dimension. I hope to share that feeling of wonder with everyone.
All of these photomicrographs are of gemstones that I own. They were all shot on either a Nikon D610 or Nikon Z7 with an F-mount microscope adapter on a 7X-45X Advanced Jewel Gem Stereo Zoom Microscope purchased from Amscope. Most are focus stacked—a composite of multiple images taken at successive focus distances so everything is in focus.
Thank you to all the friends and former colleagues that have been generous with their knowledge and helped me along the way.
