G'day Folks,
Some of you may know how I like to find unusual things in meteorites. As if
they're not unusual enough anyway! ;-)
Anyhow, when checking out a new piece of Isheyevo (CB3) under magnification,
I found one of the WEIRDEST features yet!!! A BRIGHT TEAL-BLUE/GREEN
inclusion. I don't just mean olivine green... I mean BRIGHT!!!
Firstly; this is not an effect of photography nor from preparation. I have
polished the surface from fine blade marks to fairly bright. I did not want
to do it too much though in case I polish out the inclusion. It is quite
small (no more than 2mm diameter) but that is not unusual given that all
features in this meteorite are on a similar scale. Has anyone ever seen
anything like this before or does anyone know what it might be? It really
has me stumped! Pics at the link below:
