Hi, Bernd/All,
I've seen this once before and wondered as well, also guessing similarly:

Hello Rob and List,

http://home.planet.nl/~rlenssen/green_spot_in_chondrite.jpg
 
"Can anybody explain to me what I am seeing here?"

This may be a magnesium-rich orthopyroxene crystal => hypersthene
(Mg,Fe)SiO3

What do others think?

Best,

Bernd
