[meteorite-list] New Gebel Kamil meteorite with Schlering bands, what do they look like?

[Mirko Graul]

Hi Tim and List,

i only wonder about this photo.
Schlieren bands can be seen only after etching.
But the slice on your photo is not etched.
I think the slice is polished to a mirror and now the clouds in the sky
are reflected in it.

Thats are Schlieren bands in slices of Gebel Kamil:
