Hi Mirko & List,
It shows a strange etch pattern called Schlieren bands , I think it also
shows brittle and silvery
(Schreibersites) as seen in this slice as small needles, perhaps thats the
specks seen in the etched piece.
But to see the Schlieren bands it must be etched, OK
Thanks Mirko,
Tim

Hi Tim and List,
i only wonder about this photo.
Schlieren bands can be seen only after etching.
But the slice on your photo is not etched.
I think the slice is polished to a mirror and now the clouds in the sky
are reflected in it.
Thats are Schlieren bands in slices of Gebel Kamil:

Hello List,
This is a slice of the New Gebel Kamil meteorite from
Egypt, it is an Ataxite and it is ungrouped which makes it
unique and is one of a kind in composition
http://www.meteorman.org/Gebel-Kamil-slice-77g-640.jpg
Could someone tell me what are Schlering bands, are
those Schlering bands in the picture??
I did a Google search, but didn't find any information
about Schlering Bands.
