@ Davio Ribeca; no - its only cut. Not polished.
@ Bernd Pauli; The Achondritic inclusion has a melted chondritic precursor with relict chondrules visible in REM. Interesting fact about the inclusion: its SiO in it and its aqueous altered! Very special inclusion. And rare. One slice out of 600...
so @ Craig Moody; Yes - I*ve been very lucky. |

869 never ceases to amaze me! Just think, if it had been sliced 1cm in either direction, this would have been missed. |

Very nice specimen, Michael... Is this specimen polished? Photo 3 would indicate that it's not. I wonder what the inclusions would look like if highly polished.. |

Could that achondritic inclusion be a howardite xenolith??? |
