Re: [meteorite-list] Electric metallic blue inclusion inEnsisheim(the photo)
Hello Phil, All, I'm pretty sure Jeff is right on this one - I found a similar inclusion in a piece of Tamdakht recently, and upon inspection with a microscope, it became apparent that the bright blue inclusion I'd seen was merely an opaque and iridescent film on the surface of a troilite inclusion. As has been noted, a similar phenomenon occurs with "peacock ore," and on many other metallic minerals as well. It's some sort of a byproduct of oxidation on the surface of the inclusion.

Wasn't there a thread recently about labradorite in meteorites? Could it be the the result of shocked metamorphism of plagioclase feldspar? Or maybe it's ringwoodite? Looks pretty cool whatever it is.

That's really cool!! Looks like azurite to me. Perhaps someone can take it to an institution and find out. Although, I thin section may be needed. I'll look more closely at my meteorites in the future. Thanks for sharing.
