礦物不是真正的山、森林、河流或峽谷。 但人們觀看晶體時，常會在其中辨認出熟悉的自然結構。 向上收束的晶尖可能使人聯想到山峰；高低交錯的晶簇如同山脈；綠色包裹體可能形成森林、草原或苔原般的覆蓋；裂隙、色帶與礦脈則容易被閱讀成河流、峽谷與地層。 這些聯想並不是礦物學上的正式分類，也不表示晶體內部真的存在一片縮小的自然景觀。 地景閱讀是一種觀看方法。 它以晶體真實存在的形態、色彩、包裹體、生長層次與風化痕跡為基礎，再將這些結構與人類熟悉的自然尺度互相對照。 DIYU 將地景閱讀整理為五個方向： 高度、生命、流動、時間與變化。 它們不是五種固定意義，而是五種不同的觀看起點。 Minerals are not literal mountains, forests, rivers, or canyons. Yet when people observe crystals, they often recognise structures that resemble familiar natural landscapes. A crystal termination narrowing upward may evoke a mountain peak. A cluster with varied heights may resemble a mountain range. Green inclusions may suggest forests, grasslands, or tundra, while fractures, colour bands, and mineral veins may recall rivers, canyons, and strata. These associations are not formal mineralogical classifications, nor do they imply that a miniature natural landscape literally exists inside a crystal. Mineral Landscape is a method of observation. It begins with real mineral features—form, colour, inclusions, layers of growth, and traces of weathering—and compares them with natural structures familiar to human perception. DIYU organises Mineral Landscape into five directions: Elevation, Life, Flow, Time, and Transformation. They are not five fixed meanings, but five different places from which observation may begin.
