Thin section photos
1: plane-polarized light

2: Imaging with crossed polarizers

This thin section shows a complex barred olivine condrule consisting of 3 systems of barred olivine. These systems form a starlike appearance of the chondrule. This chondrule also contains a clinopyroxene crystal (a little bit above the middle in photo 2)
