Hi Richard and Jeff,

I have one Unwa-xxx, that has four irisescence spots on the surface of the black
fusion crust?
I am going to guess this was caused by metal flecks close to the surface or just
the crust it self turning to glass?

What is your?thoughts on that.

Thanks
Dave

Good one Jeff!

Of course I was refering to SiO-type...hence the joke.? I had a NWAxxx that had
a bunch of minute florescing insect webs adhering to the sand-grains, most
likely picked up sitting around in someone's basement box for years. They were
bright-blue under the scope...also wiped away with a cloth.

As for unique olivine characteristics...I have a Brahin slice with? minute
'bubbles' in the olivine...anyone seen this before?

Richard
