Jeff, Bernd and List,

? This may be way off, but I'm wondering if the melting and subsequent splashing/spraying of something like your "blue inclusion" could have caused the "silvery blue streaking" on the surface of some of the Ash Creek (West) meteorites that were asked about during previous posts to the List? The streaks on my primary specimen with the markings, and others that I have seen, are not as DARK vivid blue as your inclusion appears to be, but the streaks do have somewhat of an iridescent look to them as well.?

? Anyone have any thoughts on this? Like I said, I may be way off, but hopefully some member(s) will be able to shed more light on the topic, as we approach the one year anniversary of the fall.

? Sincerely,
? Robert Woolard? ? ? ?
