August Words #10 - Facet

The most commonly used form that I know of this word is in the sentence ‘every facet of his life’ or something similar to that. But how to capture that sentence in a photograph.

Off I googled to an online dictionary, where I came across the following:

facets
/făs′ĭt/

1/ One of the flat polished surfaces cut on a gemstone, or occurring naturally on a crystal.

2/ A small, smooth, flat surface, as on a bone or tooth.

3/ One of the lenslike visual units of a compound eye, as of an insect.

Three options. And to my delight, I knew I had one that displayed facets - a quartz crystal from one of our vacations in Madagascar.

As far as I know, this quartz cluster was not cut; I believe quartz clusters are naturally formed with their column-like shapes.

Oh such beautiful crystals!

Good job on pulling this off- I thought of the gemstone definition but unfortunately I don't have a gem big enough for that! Well done!
