hi all and sundry 

need some advice,

I am trying to determine the nature of the orthorhombic-like opaque red/brown 
crystals I have seen in a slice I am considering having analyzed.

I cannot find any similar images on the web or in text books.

I had first thought the stone looked a bit like some lunars I have seen but on 
creating my second thinsection from  it I noticed crystal shapes that that I 
thought put a dampener  on possible lunar origins.

When ilmenite is weathered does it turn reddish brown?


please look at

the last few slides show a couple of these crystal shapes

anybody have any ideas and perhaps point me to some images of similar features.

btw this is NOT a NWA .

Jim
