More a test and a lesson of a particular setup than actual picture but hope that still worth sharing.
Rock salt (from polish Kłodawa salt mine. Zechstein salt formation, upper Perm to be precise
Nikon Z50 & Nikkor Z MC 50mm. f/11, ISO 100, photographed at an angle of about 50 degrees. Daylight and Neewer macro LED ring light with blue gel (Thus that bluish tint. Don't ask me why I used it - I have no idea too...
Stack of 40, made with ControlMyNikon app (Z50 lacks default focus shifting capability and I do not have macro slider, thus the app used).
Merged in Zerene Stacker, then LR & Topaz DeNoise AI.
Next time will try 90 degrees top-down view and maybe some different lighting.
