How to Take Better Crystal Photos
Better photos mean stronger crystal matches
Do This
Use Natural Light
Shoot near a window or outdoors. Natural light preserves true crystal color and transparency.
Capture Edges and Faces
Show crystal points, cleavage, or growth faces to improve match quality.
Use a Plain Background
Place your specimen on white or neutral background so the crystal stands out.
Avoid This
Avoid Wet Surfaces
Water can deepen colors and add glare, which makes identification less reliable.
Avoid Flash
Flash can blow out highlights and hide inclusions or internal texture.
Avoid Blurry Shots
Blurry photos hide fine details like striations, fracture patterns, and clarity zones.
