Hi,
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year...
What a wonderful Christmas ball (about 4.5 Ga) that barred olivine chondrule.
Olivine quickly crystallized into skeletal growth, such as snow crystals, forming parallel bars. The intermediate phase was discarded and contains feldspar and other minerals that formed a glassy matrix.
This olivine is relatively pure and pleasantly alters the cross-polarized light (second order) of the thin section of this meteorite (NWA 3358).
Roger.

Blessed X-Mas to all! I am surprised that Jordi did not put his Canadian Vesuvianite on. Nice specimens!

I can't offer a specimen reminiscent of a christmas tree, so I decided to make one more of my collages as a "christmas present" for you. Have a good time between the years and may 2015 bring you all some new stuff for your collections!
