Hi all,

While I know Hypersthene crystals are found in Achondrites (Johnstown
probably the most notable), I'm curious how prevalent it is in Ordinary
chondrites. I've seen several good examples of bright pale-green crystals in
LL3 chondrites with some measuring up to 1mm-1.5mm in size. I'm wondering if
this might also be Hypersthene?

Cheers,

Jeff
