Hi List

I am seeking information on why one would discovered very small crystals in
a chondrite vug. I have photos posted at the below web site of the two
different crystals discovered in a core sample taken from the 75 pound
meteorite discovered recently near Lake Havasu City, Arizona. The vugs were
discovered in the broken end of the core sample -3 inch core 1 and 3/8
inched wide. The meteorite is a chondrite and most likely a H-5 or L-6.
There is a photo posted of a section of polished core about 1? inches into
the meteorite. In this photo you can see chondrules and iron and nickel
pieces.
Thank for your input.
Jerry
