Merry Christmas, Feliz Navidad & Happy Holidays to everyone! I posted this tree a couple of years ago, but decided to decorate it this year! Aragonite/cave calcite from "Santa" Eulalia, Chihuahua, Mexico, with some willemite & calcite sprinkles from Franklin, NJ. Shown under short wave ultraviolet and white light.

Messing with UV photography, spouse helped with the setup but definitely running into some challenges (namely that dust is almost impossible to totally remove, UV beam is a little small for some specimens). It is cool to get photos of it more successfully though. Here's a few examples with only a bit of editing in the camera raw settings so far:
