 * Alt is OK with me, thanks. Pinetalk 09:14, 13 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Weak oppose -- Great detail, but the background is textured, which detracts from the image. A brushed black background would look better, I think. Crisco 1492 (talk) 07:30, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Support ALT1 -- Looks good Crisco 1492 (talk) 08:48, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Oppose. Sorry, don't mean to be harsh, but the encyclopedic information and quality of the image are too low for an FP of a mineral. We've got literally thousands of stunning mineral images, e.g. those of Rob Lavinsky - don't just look at the images, their descriptions often tell great stories within few lines. By my background, I am supposed to see more hidden details than others in this image, but I don't. Sorry. PS. Category:Petalite contains several images, which might be more interesting to represent this mineral, even though they have lower pixel resolution. I would appreciate your opinion here. My choices are File:Petalite-d05-49b.jpg, File:Petalite-243421.jpg, File:Petalite-mrz141a.jpg (white background has its benefits in representing the color), File:Petalite-tuc09104abg.jpg.
