Yes, Sandy, a fine collection of shards.  You've got a nice sense of movement and the differences in structure and the background color do a good job of keeping my eyes moving around the frame.

Those are some long crystals!   I like the way you composed it with the vertical, slightly-diagonal and diverging lines unifying the composition.

Yikes, those look dangerous Sandy. Great capture of the jumbled shards. Nice crystals and great details in the large view.
