hi all and sundry
need some advice,
I am trying to determine the nature of the orthorhombic-like opaque red/brown crystals I have seen in a slice I am considering having analyzed.
I cannot find any similar images on the web or in text books.
I had first thought the stone looked a bit like some lunars I have seen but on creating my second thinsection from it I noticed crystal shapes that that I thought put a dampener on possible lunar origins.
When ilmenite is weathered does it turn reddish brown?
please look at

the last few slides show a couple of these crystal shapes
anybody have any ideas and perhaps point me to some images of similar features.
btw this is NOT a NWA .
Jim
