I would agree, but the final value fees have increased a good amount also.
You will be paying a good deal more for the final amount it sells for which is
never the .99 its starts at. Unless the bid prices increase, you

There are no online sites the can provide the reach that Ebay does. Ebay
knows this, hence their overinflated fees and idiotic policies which are
driving away sellers.
No sellers + Nothing to buy = Less money for Ebay! Seems rather counter
intuitive to me. I say Ebay should raise their fees to

This is quite an offer from Ebay. must read to appreciate. Too Funny.

This was my piece although I wasn't astute enough to see this beautiful blue
"thing" that Shawn spotted. Actually, there are loads of sulfide crystals/veins
in Ensisheim, so it is likely some variation of that. It does not look like
plagioclase.
Good observation!

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

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

Nice picture!
The blue color is probably caused by interference in a thin oxide
coating on the sulphide inclusion. Just like a thin layer of oil on
water can create a rainbow pattern of different colours.
This effect is also seen in a number of minerals like pyrite,
chalcopyrite and bornite. O
