Hi Phil, Tom and all, I have a fairly large slice that shows two distinct, small bright iron flakes in the pale, blue portion. This pale area is completely surrounded by the brown phase, which doesn't show obvious iron. Bob On Jan 8, 2008 7:17 PM, Phil Morgan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I find it

Phil, List, I put a couple slides of this material under the 'scope and found only very small bits of metal in the blue lithology - and then, only in brownish areas of it. (Yeah, but the slice is from a distinctly blue sample.) The brown lithology had small, but naked eye size blebs of metal.

Hi John, Great photos! They prompted me to look over my slice again. The two shiny metal blebs in the grey-blue lithology measure 3/4-1mm across. They are very distinct. Closer to the boundary between grey-blue and brown, there are a couple others but they're not as reflective and appear altered.
