Good one Jeff!
Of course I was refering to SiO-type...hence the joke. I had a NWAxxx that
had a bunch of minute florescing insect webs adhering to the sand-grains,
most likely picked up sitting around in someone's basement box for years.
They were bright-blue under the scope...also wiped away with a cloth.
As for unique olivine characteristics...I have a Brahin slice with minute
'bubbles' in the olivine...anyone seen this before?

Hi Richard,
I never did get a reply from a subsequent "joke" email I sent him asking
if he'd ever seen opal-like-florescing in a meteorite...
Maybe this will help:

A long while ago, before I had a clue who Dr. Ted Bunch was, I was given
his name and contacted him with a question about a rock whose interior I
thought (at the time) resembled LA001 and "would he be interested in
seeing it?" "Sure." Of course I sent it off, and being a newbe I had huge
hopes, and of course it was terrestrial...but the great part was that TB
gave it attention, and I am honored. (I since know with whom I was
corresponding...thanks Dr. Ted for looking; you have my utmost respect.)
I never did get a reply from a subsequent "joke" email I sent him asking
if he'd ever seen opal-like-florescing in a meteorite...a testament to
why serious meteoriticist scientist shouldn't be bothered with trivia
[sorry Ted:)]...
Please, no clones. One is plenty

Thanks guys - I love rocks and will look at anything that is outside of
anyone's pants.
Watch it Darryl, a cloning procedure is underway and a TB clone may come
and
live with you all!

IMHO Ted Bunch is always friendly. If you ask him an honest question
he will
go out of his way to give you an answere along with references. He has
so
little time I think it kind of pisses him off if you waste it. Worse
thing
you can ask him is "look at my rock" he must get hundreds of look at
my rock
questions a month. If you ask him about a type of rock and where to
learn
more he will go out of his way to help you learn. In my opinion thats
friendly! Cheers Steve Dunklee

Gary,
It is you that brightened ALL of our days. Just yesterday a few of us
were
talking about how you fill every room you enter with such positive
energy
and joy. .
It was GREAT to see you and look forward to getting more of your
positive
energy in the future.
You and many others ( too many to list) helped make this my favorite
show
of all time. Every body was SUPER.
Even Ted Bunch was friendly! Ha Ha. That's how good a show this is.
(still a
week to go).
Aloha,
Carl
