[meteorite-list] Electric metallic blue inclusion in Ensisheim

[Jeff Kuyken]

Great pic and nice specimen Shawn.

That appears exactly the same as the blue inclusion in my "Blue Buzzard"! 
;-)

I've seen them in a couple of other pieces too and on every occasion they 
seem to be associated with Troilite. Bornite was one of the initial theories 
put forward which led to the conclusion that the most 'likely' candidate is 
Chalcopyrite.

Cheers,

Jeff

Hello List

Tonight I took this photograph of my Ensisheim that I got a couple weeks 
ago. I noticed when I first got the meteorite this intense metallic gold 
vein going at a diagonal angle and within the vein there is this electric 
metallic blue inclusion while viewing it through my 60x loupe. I remember 
last month there was a thread about Buzzard Coulee Blue Inclusion and I 
think some people had suggested that this inclusion might be Bornite. I am 
not sure if this discussion was completed but I would like to add my 
hypotheses on what it might be from my meteorite. I think it could Troilite 
because the vein reminds me of pyrrhotite which is FeS,Troilite, which is 
common in meteorites in varying degrees. Has anyone ever seen a electric 
metallic blue inclusion lke this in Ensishem before? And what are your 
thoughts it might be?
