The intricate crystal-like innards of Geode is a wonderful thing to behold, even if the below shot is more than slightly reminiscent of Jaws! I can imagine a crystalized version of the real 3D mandelbrot set (if it exists) to look a bit like this inside, but far, far better still.



Absolutely stunning gigantic version here:

I wonder if current GI raytracers can get that good!

Here are some other fascinating images (the cream of the crop after searching Google images for "Geode"):
