Olivine has the particular physical property of color. On this mineral it's easy to recognize the bright green color on it. I tried to make a macrophage focusing on the beautiful green color.

On this Photographies I tried to capture the perfect cleavage that characterize this mineral but looking to my photos I can tell that I failed to capture them. I can say that the vitreous luster can be spotted on these photos.

On these photos I tried to focus on the triclinic crystal system that characterized this mineral and also on the pinacoidal habit that they tend to form on this mineral. I had some problems with the lighting but after some adjustments to the flash and using the classroom light everything appears to be fixed.
