Isn’t it beautiful? I used to collect seaglass and have a beautiful necklace made of pink seaglass shaped into butterflies.

  1. That is beautiful. I have a laboratory microscope, bought from a school that was downsizing its labs. I do botany and it’s amazing what flowers, leaves and even pollen look like under a microscope. If you really enlarge the surface of a leaf, one can get down to the molecular level and see individual cells. It looks like another world. Even see water is revelatory.
