Did some cutting on the 235g Angrite today and we had a few wow moments.
Slices that have translucent crystals like you would see in a pallasite... but in an Angrite!
Very unique samples. We mad several slices today, here are 2 slices from the mother of all angrites, enjoy!
More to come on this very interesting meteorite soon.
