[meteorite-list] Making thin sections

[Starsinthedirt at aol.com]

That sounds like quite a thin section  collection!  A David New Zagami!!!  
Wow!

You will find some  beautiful sites in lava basalt.  Check this out.  It is 
a lava basalt  that looked like a meteorite, at least enough to have it 
checked out.  The  thin section turned out great so I photographed it any  way.

Thanks to all that  responded to my question on making thin  
sections.  Sounds  difficult but will give it a try.  I have some  
volcanic lava  rocks that I would like to look at.  I'll try these  
before I cut  up any of my precious meteorites!  The cost of having  
them  commercially done is just too much for an old retired vet.  I   
have a good collection of meteorite thin sections that I got from   
David New years ago.  33 different including Abee, Peace River,   
Peekskill, Zagami, Allende, Pultusk,  and others from around the   
World. No, they are not for sale!  ;-)
