However, the dark veins were a distinct melt, a glass, and these even on the microscopic level penetrated the white areas, which I immediately recognized as anorthosite. I thought then and there that what I was looking at was a sample of lunar highlands, with melt veins from impacts. This meteorite is unique. And I wish I had a piece of it for my collection-- but the price is way, way beyond me. The papers will come out-- that I am sure.
