Sculptures by Nature
I took those pictures in a recent visit to the Houston Museum of Natural Science. This was inside their Mineral room, which was breathtaking. I could’ve easily spent hours in there, but having the kids with us I had to cut it short. Many of us underestimate nature’s talent, these are just a few examples I was able to catch. I wish I could’ve kept track of all the names and types, but again that would’ve been too much to ask for.
I don’t know if you can tell that this huge, I could’ve easily fit inside it! It was the biggest mineral in the exhibition.
We try to be creative but I think someone somewhere did a better job…fantastic natural works of art!
You are so right, thanks for the comment David
Exquisite, thank you for sharing!
you’re more than welcome
They are stunning…. I have always loved looking at crystals/rocks like this, ever since I was a small child and we lived near a gemstone shop.
I know, as a kid I was obsessed with collecting pretty rocks
I remember in grade school doing a project on crystals and minerals and loved learning about them! You’ve just reminded me of that experience.
Thanks, Rasha… beautiful photographs!

Thank you dearest Olga
Amazing!
Yes, nature’s creations are far more beautiful than all the man made stuff..
I’m so behind on reading, but I have scrolled through this so many times! You post the most interesting and thought-provoking images (like the bubbles) that let one’s imagination wonder. I LOVE these and remember in first grade our teacher made crystals with chemicals – I was hooked! I begged my mother to buy me the chemicals to make them, but she didn’t bite – drats! I resorted to taking a hammer to quartz rocks and breaking those open
Beautiful post!!
Thank you so much
