A new type of crystal



I was driving to work earlier and I went through a pothole just as I was taking the WRUW picture.

The result is quite interesting!

Floating crystal!!

Very lucky shot!

I like it though and I doubt I could do that on purpose.

I shall credit the city of Plano TX for this pic.

It was their omnipresent potholes that did it.

Cool! Couldn't have done it if you had tried.
