Hello All, On Saturday, August 28, 2010, Marcin introduced his latest eucrite to us: NWA 6309, a polymict, silica- and plagioclase-rich eucrite.
Today I finally got my 8.7-gram slice and one of the thin sections he is offering. Even though this is not my first eucrite (meanwhile there are 86 eucrites + 10 eucrite TS in my collection), I must say that this NWA 6309 is a real "crystal beauty" - both in hand sample as well as in cross-polarized light! Brown, sugary crystals (like those of Agoult), beautiful, well-developed ilmenite crystals, abundant snow-white plagioclase, and so much more! Cheers, Bernd ______________________________________________ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
