[meteorite-list] Special: AD: New Mars-Fall Tissint - Polished Fullslices!
Dear community, Now we all were occupied with admiring the fragments and the rare individuals that new epoch-making fall yielded; we studied the exterior, were amazed about the variety of different fusion crusts, took a glance on the interior by means of broken sides or crust-free fragments. Now it is highest time to subject Tissint to the other viewing habits we are used to - and here we are proud to present now the first masterly prepared slices: And what for slices! http://www.chladnis-heirs.com/specials/tissint.html In principle here could end our Special - in leaving you alone in your awe. Well worth it was, that we pushed away our twinge of conscience to slice up one of the scarce perfect individuals, any collector would rip his arm off for. Look, how we were rewarded. See those fantastically pastel green olivine crystals, which strongly remind us of those in NWA 5789. Take a closer look, you'll find even a few single ones, which seems almost to change from opaque to translucent. They are sitting in a very accentuated matrix-grid, which is in some ways similar to Shergotty or Zagami, though finer and on a smaller scale. And finally those dramatic and huge melt pockets and maskelynite blotches. With all historical respect for the four other observed Martian falls, Tissint is macroscopically the most spectacular and the most aesthetical among the observed falls. For sure. Masterly polished by Stefan's craftsmanship, completely surrounded by fusion crust, with at best only here and there naturally a small chip missing, are these those adorable specimens, which also in later decades you'll take in your hands, with a silent and almost triumphal blitheness, to have been once so wise, to have saved these specimen just in the days of the birth of this so famous meteorite. And if you were one of the few lucky ones, who were able to gather one of the few complete individuals, such a fullslice is almost a must to add. (And those who weren't - watch the endcut, a perfect alternative or contact us for still a superb complete individual). Enjoy!
