Hi List,

I just received a small vial of Martian Nakhlite from Jim Strope today. To the naked eye
it is unassuming [only .010 grams], but in closeup it is much more impressive. My
closeup is not the best and I will improve my setup tomorrow for a better shot, but check
out the orthopyroxenes! VERY clear - even in this slightly blurry shot.

Here's the page with a link to the closeup;

Thanks Jim. A great pleasure to have my first planetary specimen in my collection!
