Hi list, This month in Meteorite Times, my monthly column I do, called Micro Visions, is on NWA 2977. It is a Lunar provided by Jim Strope (Catch a Falling Star). I guess it is Jim's way of "supporting the arts". He has always made his very expensive planetary thin sections available to me to image. (This is no small thing when you think about the delicate nature of thin sections.)
Any way, This set of images turned out beautiful. I show them in full color cross polarized light. Keep in mind, this is what I see through the scope. It is not color altered! I wish you could look through the eyepieces and see it first hand. As well as transmitted Xpol, I have some high magnification incident light shots. This particular Lunar had an iron fleck with, what appears to be, a mineral migration pattern. I posted the list about the possibility about three weeks ago but this is the first posting of images. From what I gather, this effect is caused by processes similar to Widmanstatten Pattern but on a MUCH smaller scale. It would be cool if you would take a look and let me know what you think. Please keep in mind I am only asking and not trying to pass my opinions off as fact.
