EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a needle-shaped mineral, known as C013 / 5325, displayed at the remarkable Biosphere 2 in Tucson, Arizona. Developed in the late 1980s, Biosphere 2 was established to study how natural environments create sustainable living conditions for humanity (with Earth being referred to as biosphere 1). The crystal's delicate and fragile nature is beautifully captured in this image. Its pink hue adds a touch of elegance to its geological composition. This mineral specimen represents growth and resilience within the arid landscapes of Arizona. As we gaze upon this crystalline wonder, we are reminded of the fragility and intricate beauty found within our planet's deposits. The interplay between minerals and their surroundings is an essential field of study called mineralogy. These needle-like crystals symbolize both strength and vulnerability simultaneously - they possess a breakable quality that reminds us of their preciousness. Their presence within Biosphere 2 serves as a testament to the importance of preserving our environment for future generations. Photographed by Mark Williamson from Science Photo Library, this image invites us into the world of minerals and crystals while showcasing the wonders that lie beneath Earth's surface. It serves as a reminder that even seemingly small elements can hold immense value when it comes to understanding our planet's geological history.
