That sounds like quite a thin section collection! A David New Zagami!!!
Wow!

You will find some beautiful sites in lava basalt. Check this out. It is
a lava basalt that looked like a meteorite, at least enough to have it
checked out. The thin section turned out great so I photographed it any way.

Thanks to all that responded to my question on making thin
sections. Sounds difficult but will give it a try. I have some
volcanic lava rocks that I would like to look at. I'll try these
before I cut up any of my precious meteorites! The cost of having
them commercially done is just too much for an old retired vet. I
have a good collection of meteorite thin sections that I got from
David New years ago. 33 different including Abee, Peace River,
Peekskill, Zagami, Allende, Pultusk, and others from around the
World. No, they are not for sale! ;-)
