Jason, Will this one do? _http://www.impactika.com/DOrbVug.jpg_ (http://www.impactika.com/DOrbVug.jpg) Taken in Sept. 2001 in Denver, in Eduardo's show room. Anne M.

Sheesh...you might read that paragraph again. The Hupe's don't sell martian material with the statement "may contain traces of martian life." At least they didn't the last time I checked.... And, yes, D'Orbigny contains cm-sized crystals of translucent, gemmy, pallasite-like olivine. They compose about 1% of the meteorite, by volume. I've seen some in some hand-sized specimens that E.T. had for sale a few years ago, but can't find any great photos online. Apparently Asu88 contains upwards of 10% similar crystals by volume (see article linked-to above), but I couldn't find any pictures of that one. The interesting thing about your Angrite is the fact that the translucent crystal is anorthosite. So far as I know, it's the first time that a translucent *anorthosite* crystal has been found in an Angrite.
