Australian minerals pyroxene and feldspar thin section image on Men’s slip-on canvas shoes

The geological thin section photograph featured on these men's slip-on shoes depicts a magnified view (under crossed polars) of pyroxene crystals being altered by feldspar laths.
HOW THE PHOTO WAS CAPTURED:
These photographs were taken by Sue Hanson during her career as a geologist. This is the process in Sue's words:
After cutting and roughly trimming with a diamond tipped saw the rock is slowly cut, ground and then polished to a thickness of 0.03mm (30µm). Using resin to hold this incredibly thin slice of rock onto a glass slide the constituent minerals are now ready to be viewed under a polarising microscope. The diagnostic colors produced by projecting various wavelengths of light through the rock sliver, in conjunction with mineral shape and its association with other minerals are used to determine the mineral type. The diagnostic colors and shape of the mineral can also tell the experienced petrologist the approximate chemical composition of the mineral.
