These black stones are so smooth your fingers glide right over them. I think they are basalt, which is a very fine-grained igneous rock. Apparently it forms much of the ocean floor, and is also common on the moon.
beautiful again! i am playing with these emeralds too at the moment. but i am not able to make a foto that captures this greeeeen. and one of the black ones is always in my pocket.
The green is hard to capture, isn't it? I used the luminance technique I described in the post about trying to tone down red. http://quercusdesign.blogspot.com/2011/04/trouble-with-red.html Do you shoot in RAW or jpeg?
