Many thanks Bernd!

The picture is  wonderful indeed.

Upon checking my collection catalog, I note having also  got a thin section 
of the same meteorite (David New, 1998).
However, I  also note I sold that slice (and many others for which I had the 
real  meteorite represented in collection) to my friend Roger Warin 
(enthroned  Ensisheim 2006) who, as expert scientist, recently fell in love 
for  meteorite thin sections and "all what is behind".
Roger is especially  becoming keen in taking micrographs of TS' under 
polarized light.
As a  recent list member, Roger is certainly reading this post and I can bet 
he  can provide us rapidly a picture of that Forestburg(b) thin section. If 
not  done yet, I am even more sure he is willing to do it...tonight (I well 
know  Roger's passions...).
Eh, Roger ?
(Story to be continued).

By the  way, I also note I have a second slice of Forestburg (b) in 
collection. Got  from Blaine Reed (another very nice and honest guy) in 1998.
It is a 127.4 g  part slice, 100x55x4 mm, black, lots of metal and some 
light gray  chondrules.
I can't say more as I am only reading the description in my  catalog. If I 
retained it in colection means that it definitely shown  something different 
than my big slice.
I will have a closed look next  week and tell you more. Gary or Mark might 
be anxious to know whether there  are some greenish spots around  ?

I am sorry I don't have a thin-section of Forestburg B right now, but I  
might consider getting some done in the near future.
 
Thanks Bernd for letting me know that your Santa Vitoria finally got  there 
and that you like it. If you would like more snow, just say so, we still  have 
plenty here. 

And thin-sections of Santa Vitoria are already in the making! I can give  you 
a bit of a preview of what they will show. Here is the picture of the slice  
that has been cut, and the corner being used for the thin-sections, lots of  
chondrules there. It should make for a few interesting  thin-sections:

And Zelimir, Alex, Mike Martinez was working at archiving all those old  
price-lists a while back. I don't know if he is still working on that, but maybe  
he will respond on the List.
