[meteorite-list] Update: Interesting crystal in meteorite - a closer look

[Gary Fujihara]

Aloha, <I sent this out 9 hours ago and it has not appeared, so I'm  
sending it out again>

Monday I introduced to the list, a recently obtained meteorite with a  
large iridescent crystal visible in its naturally broken face.   
Yesterday, I walked down to the Geology Department to show the  
specimen to Dr Ken Hon, who inspected it and took some  
photomicrographs of the crystal.  You can check out what they look  
like up close here:

Next step: shipping out the specimen to UH Manoa for analysis ...
