Okay, okay, I'm exaggerating a bit, but it's a really white inclusion in this meteorite and it's making a nice contrast to the dark matrix.
I bought a number of both cut and uncut unanalysed NWA:s from Dean a couple of months ago. When I cut one up to slices I was greeted by a really nice surprise. In one of the meteorites there were a white inclusion circa 5 mm across.
Here are some pictures on the inclusion.

The inclusion looks like some medium to fine grained mineral with grey lines (fractures?) criss crossing it.
Does anyone here have a clue of what this is?
Thanks for looking!
