Dear friends,
Last year I bought a moldavite at the Munich fair, which shows a SOLID
inclusion inside. The specimen is thin, very translucent and has a smooth
surface. The inclusion is bow-shaped, flat and around 4 mm at its broader
part. I have never seen a moldavite like this one.
Two questions:
- How common are solid inclusions in moldavites - have I found something
special ?
- If moldavites solidified DURING FLIGHT how can a solid inclusion make it
into it ?
