From the 2017 Tucson Gem and Mineral Show:
Allende has more crazy stuff inside than you can shake a stick at. For example, the gray 'smear' in this specimen and the fantastical CAIs.

Seen at the Hotel Tucson City Center, room 322 (Anne Black, Impactika).

Very interesting section Paul I saw this in Anne's room. It is a finer grain dark inclusion of a more highly altered fragment. There are small more highly reflective specks distributed within it of the parent body and the photo seems more reflective on it ... it looked darker as I remember, and actually two tones a darker snd lighter like a bifocal lens. Interesting!
