Copper Formation

I spent Sunday afternoon at the Royal Ontario museum, splitting the time between the Asian and mineral galleries. At first I thought that the copper formation below was petrified wood of some sort because it curves like bark. It was one of the many wonders on display that made me think about the wondrous and beautiful things that arise through random geological processes. I was overwhelmed and awed by the dazzling minerals that I saw and reminded that there is so very much to explore in this world of ours. I felt like a kid again, which is exactly the effect that a trip to a museum should have.
