Colorful Crystals
The vibrant rainbow of colors depicted in this image is reminiscent of the Lisa Frank artwork that was popular in the 1990s. Nineties kids will remember all of the binders, Trapper Keepers and pencil cases with her images. Imagine a smiling unicorn rising from the icy blue sea. Look closely and find the sparkling crystals scattered throughout. Those are real crystals, just not the kind one would think. The crystals are from Paracetamol, also known as acetaminophen, a common, over-the-counter pain medication, magnified 20 times and subjected to polarized light. Who would have thought that a pain med is so beautiful?
