Hi Bernd and List,

You are right Bernd, sorry I did not mention it the right way.
But the breccia on Benguerir is really visible with naked eye, displaying a
much darker, medium grey matrix along the main fair grey LL6 matrix. But
once again, I only saw two small fragment like that, the ones I bought in
Morocco, and even did not see a picture of another one.

All the best,

Fred
