Mineral thin section photograph on Cotton Unisex Hoodie

Australian mineral thin section photo featuring an agglomeration of pyroxene crystals. This beautiful photograph taken by geologist Sue Hanson in Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia is now custom printed on a cotton hoodie. Who knew that the softest hoodie you'll ever own comes with such a cool design? You won't regret buying this classic streetwear piece of apparel with a convenient pouch pocket and warm hood for chilly evenings.

How Sue captured this image:
After cutting and roughly trimming with a diamond tipped saw the rock sample 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. This photograph depicts a magnified view (under crossed polars) of an agglomeration of pyroxene crystals. Actual rock section photographed is 3mm width.
