Hi Richard and Jeff, I have one Unwa-xxx, that has four irisescence spots on the surface of the black fusion crust? I am going to guess this was caused by metal flecks close to the surface or just the crust it self turning to glass?
What is your thoughts on that.

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?
