Hi Mike, Peter and List, Peter writes:
"I found a similar - about 2 mm wide - green inclusion in a slice of my Steinbach meteorite" Mike T. writes: "Anyone else out there with a scope and some Udei Station may want to hunt for these little gems" These emerald green gems are pyroxene crystals - augite to be exact! You find them in several irons, especially the silicate-bearing ones like these that I have in my collection: - Udei Station - Landes - Miles (from Martin Horejsi's collection) - Patagonia (Remember Mike Farmer's emerald green jewel in one of his specimens!?) - Caddo County [not (yet) in my collection] Hope everyone had a wonderful Xmas and is looking forward to a Happy, Peaceful 2009!
