Naomi bought this beautiful piece of translucent blue agate at a gem show, and I wanted to do it photographic justice.
I used a Canon 580EX flash at 1/4 power in a Lumiquest Softbox LTp with the stone resting on a sheet of paper directly on top of the softbox (which was facing up).
I put another flash (a LP160) beside me on the desk pointing at the ceiling for a soft bounce-back illumination of the front of the stone. A couple of power tweaks were needed to balance the two flash sources with the second flash ending up at 1/2 power.
I processed to enhance contrast and detail
