Rocky Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 So this is a as found uncleaned, untouched NWA I received. I filed and polished to 220grit and I instantly recognized it as a Enstatite metachondrite because of the shock melt veins, completely recrystallised matrix and the best part is the ghost chondrules that can only be viewed under certain reflected light (2 so far) one very pronounces as photographed mid upper right of the stone. This baby has shock melt veins through much of the exterior as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky Posted November 15, 2017 Author Share Posted November 15, 2017 Here is another close up of the relic chondrule. I'll try to get another better shot of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
