Darktooth Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Definitely not a tooth. Looks geological to me. I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daves64 Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Hard to tell exactly. Using the flash for closeups makes everything look oiled & any details are washed out. Looks cryptocrystalline, but no details to go by. Accomplishing the impossible means only that the boss will add it to your regular duties.

daves64 Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Then it's an incandescent light source. Best options are outside in the early morning sun or an led light. I had the same problem until I got an led bulb for indoor shots. Accomplishing the impossible means only that the boss will add it to your regular duties.

Auspex Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 I think it is a water-tumbled shard of quartz vein.
