Kamen Engel is a Christchurch-based geologist and photographer. He captures these beautiful images by photographing paper-thin slices of rock through a microscope, revealing a hidden world of minerals. The final product is actually composed of many (often hundreds) of smaller images seamlessly stitched together to produce a kaleidoscopic glimpse into what our eyes can't normally see.
Granophyres form within shallow magma chambers. Two different types of crystals (quartz and feldspar) grow at the same time as the magma chamber, leading to this rock's signature interlocking pattern.
