Re: [meteorite-list] Allende Inclusions?

[Roman Nakonechny]

Hey tom. It's probably light green olivine that crystallized with other 
pre-solar nebular material, silicates in particular- some of which have no 
color hue. I've seen many different color hues in my Allende slice and the 
fascinating and sometimes perfect chondrules when observing them under an 
American Optical 1000x microscope- rotated down to 100x of course. There's a 
great book with a section on chondrules alone called (Brazilian 
Meteorites)and you can get it from: Bethany Sciences (Ron Farrell), New 
Haven ,CT. . He sold me my first meteorite, Allende, a 156gram 95% fusion 
crust and a 5gr. slice so that I could better see the chondrules. The whole 
chondrite has a 1/2"in. piece cracked off of it from impacting a widows 
porch roof. Scared her to death when the rest of the stones came in 
hypersonic and rained down on(Village Of Allende). Last told, she still has 
a 10kilo Allende "with a beautiful, undamaged, black skin" buried on her 
farm 2ft. down in a plastic trash bag. Imagine a slice off of a 10 kilo 
Allende , and all the calcium/aluminum and other inclusions, like Gold, 
Silver, Brass balls- sorry, meant chondrules:), lets not go back there, 
please!
An (e.g.) from the book that I'm pretty sure some of us collectors of 
nebular fragmented accretions (meteorites), is the description of Chondrule 
Textures: 1-Porphyritic 2-Barred and Rimmed 3-Excentro-Radial and 4-Granular 
Porphyritic. It took me 3 years before I found out that Chondrules were 
formed by the "spontaneous crystallization of freely-floating 
highly-supercooled droplets of melt"-  in my opinion the best description 
that everybody can visualize- not my description, I forget where I copied it 
from? The've found chondrules with tiny nickel/iron cores. Then you throw at 
your friends or family that the Earth is nothing but a MACRO -CHONDRULE and 
you've lost'em.
Hey, I get excited about free-floating spheres, especially when they have 
names, you know what I mean? Sorry about the lengthy response Tom. It's 
3:54AM here and I've been watching way too much War T.V. You can't help but 
get hooked on it!        (GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS)

Hello List, I was looking at my Allende and noticed a clear inclusion with 
a
light green tinge, can any one tell me what this is?

Thanks, Tom
