Very beautiful, indeed! To complement Mark´s photos I would like to draw all
thin section lovers to this new and excellent book:

      "A Color Atlas of Meteorites in Thin Section"
      by Dante S. Lauretta and Marvin Killgore,
      available at Ebay or from Marvin´s Website
      301 pages of high quality paper, 98.00 USD

I received my personal copy, signed by Marvin, a week ago, and it is worth
every buck of the investment.

Back to D´Orbigny you will find six photos of this angrite there: overview
plane-polarized, overview cross-polarized and four detail photos including a
back-scattered electron image. A gorgeous meteorite unter crossed polars, as
I can confirm from my own thin section slide.
