[meteorite-list] Parallel Banding in Vigarano

[Martin Horejsi]

Hi Bernd,

Wow, sharp eyes.

When contrasting the two DIs in the overall slice, there is a distinct
difference in color. Any thoughts? Also, the shape(s) of the DI(s) you
pointed out is rather striking.

Is that another larger less dark DI in the upper right, essentially in
the mirror opposite position of the dark DI with the CAIs in the
middle?

Martin
