Adam and others,

It is the same igneous rock he was slicing and calling DAG 476. It is basalt or gabbro....the green look to it maybe olivne but more likely epidote. What was the name of that character that Art has banned in the past...not Matteo..before him. This is starting to have the feel/look of someone who wants to screw with us purposely. Proud Tom????

As many of you know I have similar material...I just put some up for sale today(see below) as a spoof in return to Mr./Ms. Glassface. Contribution of payment will be to the IMCA and its development...
