Everyone...

I neglected to mention that Jim Strope has these very
exciting slides. Really amazing with a viewer, as my
crude photo shows. I have been looking at it with my
cheap old 30 year old student microscope, and the
structure is amazing. One can clearly see the
carbonate veins which are extraterrestrial weathering
products.

If you do not have a slide of NWA998, they are very
much worth it.

See the slide link as I posted below.
