Hello All,

"So I am thinking that there must have been a surface fracture that extended down into
the interior of the stone. Weathering products intruded through this crack and the brown
'inclusion' is probably just a clay-like replacement mineral."

"clay-like" => phyllosilicates are clay minerals!

.. and *if* it is preterrestrial, this might be an extended
area of phyllosilicates, saponite, smectite or something!

Cheers,

Bernd
