Hi List,

   I am sending this question out again because I have what appears to be
the same type of material in an inclusion within an inclusion (!) of NWA
904. The PV sample is much smaller, located within several areas of the
specimen and "fresher" in appearance. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Good Evening List Members,

   I recently received a very nice metal rich (including veins) 20.86g part
slice of PV. I was amazed at how much Trolite is evident in the specimen. In
looking at it with a 10x Loupe, I noticed some dark blue colored material
which appeared crystalline in nature. Is this "discolored" Trolite?

  What a wonderful rock from space.

Warmest Regards,
Greg Redfern
