I've recenly bought a 14 gram Fukang on ebay. While it wasn't apparrent in
the photos, when I received it I noticed on one edge of the slice a yellow
crystal fragment seemed floating separated a few mm by a clear matrix . I
suspect that this was material used to stablitize this pallasite in
preparation, although it looks more like glass than epoxy. Could this
posibly be melt, or were most of these slices being prepared using some
hardener to aid cutting.
