I love XPOL pics! Nice ones, also you have the infamous bubble with the #7 on it. I saw this on the Coast to Coast website, PROOF of alien life!

[meteorite-list] Solar meteorite
Since working on the NWA 5000 thin section over a year ago I have worked with quite a number of lunar slides. I have always been primarily interested in the glass. My most recent effort is NWA 4483 Lunar feldspathic granulitic imapactite. It has a lot of glass. It is nearly 85% isotropic glass, (rough estimate). Norbrt Classen and I plan on an up coming article for Meteorite Times on it. My point is none of the lunar glass I have examined has well defined solar wind vesicles like NWA 5000. When sharing micrographs or just talking meteorites, I am surprised at how few people are aware of this unique feature in NWA 5000. It's taken me looking at the lunar glass of many samples to give me an appreciation of just how cool NWA 5000 really is. It the closest thing to owning a Solar Meteorite. Real trapped solar wind in little bubbles!!! If you are interested in checking out the solar wind vesicle photos please go to Meteorite Times back issues and select august 2008, then go to Micro Visions in the menu on the left. http://www.meteorite-times.com/back_issues.htm I have no NWA 5000 material for sale so I am not promoting anything, just sharing a cool observation and wondering if there are any other Lunar meteorites with this same phenomenon.
