EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of iron pyrite crystals, captured through a coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). Also known as fools gold, these crystals are composed of iron disulphide (FeS2) and are one of the most abundant sulphide minerals found in nature. The crystal's distinct cubic shape is often observed, making it easily recognizable. With a magnification of x190 when printed at 10 centimetres wide, this image allows us to appreciate the mesmerizing details within each crystal. The vibrant colours bring out the crystalline structure and highlight the geological significance of this mineral. Iron pyrite holds great importance in earth science and mineralogy studies due to its widespread occurrence. It can be commonly found in rocks like shale and serves as a valuable tool for understanding various geological processes. This SEM image provides researchers with an up-close view that reveals new insights into its composition and formation. Displayed by Science Photo Library, this print not only captures the scientific essence but also celebrates the aesthetic appeal hidden within our natural world. Whether you're fascinated by geology or simply captivated by beautiful imagery, this piece offers a glimpse into Earth's remarkable diversity while reminding us that even common minerals hold extraordinary secrets waiting to be discovered.
