This is a photo of my favorite souvenir, purchased from a beach vendor in Mexico. This mineral block was cut-shaped and then the image of *Teotihuacan Temple was carved into the back corner of the piece. This image was taken in natural sunlight which illuminated the temple very nicely and helps to show how clear and blue this piece is. The two places of yellow you see in this composition were caused by sunlight reflecting of the surface the piece was sitting on. I have for years been trying to take a complimentary photo of this piece, this is my best up to this date. *Teotihuacan, located in the Basin of Central Mexico, was the largest, most influential, and certainly most revered city in the history of the New World, and it flourished in Mesoamerica's Golden Age, the Classic Period of the first millennium CE. Dominated by two gigantic pyramids and a huge sacred avenue, the city, its architecture, art, and religion would influence all subsequent Mesoamerican cultures, and it remains today the most visited ancient site in Mexico.

Oh thank you so very much! I have such an attachment to this piece, which makes me think I may not be the best judge of how "beautiful" this really is. Thanks for the wonderful validation and for the "Outstanding Creativity" peer recognition.
