Mars: Mineral filled veins in close-up

Using an onboard focusing process, the Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI) aboard NASA's Mars rover Curiosity created each of the base images of this mosaic by merging eight images previously taken by the MAHLI, located on the turret at the end of the rover's robotic arm. I have roughly stitched 9 of the overlapping MAHLI images together to create this mosaic that captures just a small section of the exposed mineral filled veins at the Garden City outcrop which is located inside Artist's Drive in Gale Crater.

The base images were acquired and merged by the rover on sol 946, April 05, 2015. Full size image is 4916 x 4747 pixels.
