I've recenly bought a 14 gram  Fukang on ebay. While it wasn't apparrent in 
the photos, when I received it I noticed on one edge of the slice a  yellow 
crystal fragment  seemed floating separated a few mm by a clear matrix . I 
suspect that this was material used to stablitize this pallasite in 
preparation, although it looks more like glass than epoxy. Could this 
posibly be melt, or were most of these slices being prepared using some 
hardener to aid cutting.
