Very cool Marcin
I had the opportunity once to watch this in action. I was with our own Edwin
Thompson one night cutting some Franconia specimens when we noticed a single
horn shaped crystal start to appear on a freshly cut surface. We quickly
threw it under the microscope and were able to watch it grow before our
eyes. Nothing like the mass of crystals on your CO3 but nothing short of
amazing to have witnessed. We speculated it was Augite, such would not be
the case with yours. Looking very forward a continued update on yours as
time goes by.

Subject: [meteorite-list] I have found "life" in my CO3
Hello List
Tooday I wanted to make some description for my new meteorites. When I
opened one of the boxes, something white almost eat me :)
OK now seriously
Here is my new MC058 CO3.x chondrite. I received it on end of august, cut
several slices and store it in cardboard box like all other meteorites
that wait for clasification. Tooday I wanted to make photos and I have
found large white crystals growing on both sides of two slices.
Wow, something fantastic.
I remember I have similar things on my Ogrueil, but this one is much more
larger. Anyone know what it is ?
I will leave them in box for next two months and lets wait if this will
still grown. But now there will maybe be too cold for them. Anyway I will
try to hold them undamaged even for next year.
Have fun
