Light splits into rainbow bands as it passes through transparent mineral surfaces and crystalline structures. These 50 images capture the geometric play of refraction and color that occurs when light interacts with glass and natural crystals. Faceted angles and bright dispersed hues define the visual core of this collection.

About Prism Photography
Clear quartz formations, silicon dioxide deposits, and glass surfaces dominate the subjects, with close-up perspectives revealing intricate internal patterns and striations. Many shots document naturally occurring crystal specimens alongside studio setups of transparent mineral fragments angled to catch direct light. Yellowstone National Park mineral formations and laboratory-grade rock crystal samples appear throughout the collection.
Sharp, directional light creates vivid color separation across surfaces, with particular intensity where rays pass through layered crystalline material. The resulting images balance clinical clarity with unexpected warmth as amber, violet, and blue wavelengths emerge from a single light source.
