dsvilko Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 (edited) Do tell me if I am spamming the forum with my meteorite photos. Here is a tiny silce (0.8g, about 2cm long) of the Aba Panu L3 chondrite. Currently, it's my meteorite with the best preserved chondrules, even if it's S4 shock grade. It's also my highest detail photo, both focus stacked and panorama composited, with a macro tubes, reversing ring and a Canon 50mm f/1.8 lens (sharp from edge to edge).

Morlock Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 You can't possibly spam the forum with such beautiful pictures. Great looking meteorite slice as well as excellent photography. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardtimehermit Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Yes indeed great photo and no spam, and i like it when we don't have to guess which chondrite under the sun we are looking at. h.t. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsvilko Posted May 24, 2019 Author Share Posted May 24, 2019 Thanks guys! Here is the other side. Does anyone have enough experience with meteorites to venture a guess what could the tiny bright cyan crystal by the right edge, 1/3 to the top be (you have to zoom in - it's tiny)? I haven't seen that kind of color either in this meteorite or the other ones I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsvilko Posted May 24, 2019 Author Share Posted May 24, 2019 Here it is zoomed in. It's definitely a different shade of green than the usual olivine crystals. Does anyone know another green mineral that can be found in meteorites? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morlock Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Is it possible it's olivine? That mineral comes in many shades of green. It is a little odd you would have two shades within a few millimeters though. Just food for thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
