Rather large garnet in a rather small gneiss boulder (Tolland County, CT). The garnets seem to be associated with a vein of white minerals (feldspars, mostly) within the gneiss -- this boulder contains a rather large example (4-5 cm), as most of the local garnets are millimeter scale (0.1 - 1 cm in size).

Garnets weathering out of a gneiss boulder (Tolland County, CT). Same boulder as share.gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=11125, but different angle (and lighting, apparently - less issue with trees, more issue with overexposure, perhaps.)

Anorthosites metamorphosed to granulite facies underly most of the High Peaks region of the Adirondack Mountains in upstate New York. This sample illustrates beautiful examples of garnet coronas around pyroxenes. This one's for you, Chief!

This is an amphibolite grade metamorphic rock out of one of the ophiolites in the Klamath Mountains in northern California. It's really a very brilliant green due to the chromium content - I'm not sure the camera or lighting fully captures that.

Garnets weathering out of a boulder of gneiss (Tolland County, CT). Tried to get nice morning light on the vein containing the reddish garnets - was hard with the trees, though... the leaves were almost as bad as the clouds!

Looking up the road, we can actually peer into the layering of this rock and see some of the structure. And the bushes/flowers growing in the cracks. (For scale, of course :) ) Different views at gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=5783 and gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=5745

When I set this one up I was aiming to get a nice closeup of a shear zone. What I ended up with was a test of the Gigapan unit under extreme weather conditions. You can almost pick out the individual moment where the snow flurries suddenly turned into a whiteout. In hindsight, I'm amazed that the thing stitched toge...

Second stop on the NAGT NewTools pre-Workshop field trip. The snow was pleasant at this point; a few minutes later we experienced whiteout conditions.
