Oh, I'll give you the colors of the rainbow! Greg has arranged for me to
examine the thin section used to classify this OD. I'll post when the images
are up.

Speaking of Greg, he has provided me with the description (of a pairing NWA
4587) for this months Meteorite Times Micro Vision on NWA 4901 the anomalous
achondrite also paired with NWA 011. Real cool stuff! there are structures
in it that I have never seen before.

Paul should have this month's issue up in a couple days.

All my past Micro Vision articles have been incorporated into my Micrograph
Gallery menu. This makes it much easier to find what you are looking for.

It's so great (and so unusual) when a meteorite is sufficiently
visually engaging that folks on the list post their enthusiasm for the
same.

Reminds me of a recent story. This fellow called to let me know he
had a meteorite for sale. When I asked him to describe it he said,
"It's got almost all the colors of the rainbow and it's kind of
iridescent," to which I replied, "Sir, with all respect, meteorites
don't look like that." Without skipping a beat, "And that's exactly
why mine is worth so much!" ;-)

Seems like we should all obtain a sample of 5480.
