Sorry if this is a duplicate
Hi,
In my opinion, this is Cumberlandite. The guy is from Woonsocket RI
and THAT IS the source of Cumberlandite. If you go to his web site
(http://www.newmeteor.com/)one of his photos clearly shows tiny white
plagioclase crystals.
For more info see http://tinyurl.com/4gcsaf
Best,
