Hi List. I have started to call them "Space Pearls" You have to open
a lot
of meteorites to find them.

What I am talking about is a unique crystal structure in a small round
chondrule/inclusion. These objects stand out from the matrix as very
different

and I have found them in very different meteorite material. The first
one I
found was in a slice of JaH 055, a photo of that one was published in
Meteorite

Magazine. Since then I have only found partial or not completely
developed
(apparently) examples. Yesterday I found an other one. These are not
common.
  I have cut, polished and examined hundreds of meteorites and I am
only up
to 2 good examples.

Perhaps some others have come on to these objects as well? Always
much
smaller than a chondrule. Hardly visible with out magnification and
no
features
can be seen so spotting them would require microscope viewing.

Please email me and I will send an email with embedded micrographs
(nothing
to download separately). I am eager to hear observations of what
these are
and if you have noticed them before.

Thanks, Tom Phillips
