it is not easy to see a lot of detail in a end cut of 2g...so I'm still not sure what

Hello John D., Jeff K., and All,
I agree with Jeff's remarks that the crust on Amgalas looks more velvet-like.

Good Morning All,
Bernd's second paragraph brings up another issue we all have to deal with,
the color temperature of the lighting we use when taking pictures of
specimens. The most accurate light to use is natural sunlight with light

Any of you who have strolled through the desert looking at rocks have
prob'ly noticed that there are a great variety of weathering rinds and
desert varnishes which look more or less like fusion crusts, depending on
the type of rock and location in the desert. Since fusion crusts are glassy,
