EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of ganister, a hard and fine-grained quartzose sandstone used in the production of silica brick. The polarised light micrograph, titled "Ganister, polarised light micrograph C013 / 4794" offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the world of geology. In this image, we witness a thin section of ganister under polarised light. The vibrant colors and delicate patterns that emerge are truly awe-inspiring. Ganisters are known for their characteristic splintery fracture and are cemented with secondary silica. This particular sample exhibits a horizontal object size of 1.2 mm. The composite nature of this photograph allows us to appreciate the complexity and diversity found within Earth's sedimentary rocks. It serves as a testament to the wonders hidden beneath our feet. As we delve deeper into its details, we gain insight into both the scientific significance and aesthetic allure present in geological formations like ganister. With every glance at this print, we uncover new layers of understanding about our planet's composition. Captured by PASIEKA/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, this image is not just an artistic masterpiece but also an invaluable resource for earth scientists and researchers alike. It reminds us that even in seemingly ordinary substances lie extraordinary stories waiting to be discovered - stories that shape industries such as construction and manufacturing while simultaneously offering glimpses into Earth's ancient pasts.
