Hi Dirk, This is the best shot of the green ridge I could get. My camera kept wanting to focus on the body of the tektite or on the background. The green ridge is centered longititudinally along the specimen's axis in the middle of a smooth, shiny spot that looks like it may have remained melted for a time after the major portions of the piece solidified.
