Slow down Dave,
I didn't say it is a winner; I just don't know what
it is. I can't seem to get the picture back up (I
think the auction has been cancelled), but it looked
.
Predominantly titano-magnetite (ilmenite) with iron-
stained andesine plagioclase and accessory apatite and
zircon.
The next time you're in SoCal I can show you a
locality where we can find purple anorthosite and 2cm
long zircons!:-)

Dave,
In a career working frequently with basalts, I've
never seen megascopic free metal. I also have never
heard of the same. Basalts are, by nature, iron rich,
but for all practical purposes, most of the iron is
present in silicate phases. This thing isn't a
basalt. I don't have any better
