Geeze...
 
These "slides" are not even the standard size for petrologic work.
 
Standard sized petrologic slides are:
 
25 mm x 45 mm
 
not 1 x 3 inches.
 
Nor can I imagine that thin sectioned oxidized Nantan's would reveal anything of interest under polarized light.

Hello all,

Guess someone found a use for rusty Nantans...make a thin section from it!
For those interested the link is:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2572504959&category=26411

Of course, the fact that it is still a meteorite is open to debate since the
pics shows light being transmitted through the thin section, and a "real"
iron would be opaque. At any rate, it's just the gift for the meteorite
collector who thought they had everything ;-)

Regards,
Frank
