What is a thin section?       What do all the colors mean?    
Thin section in black-and-white.   Achondrite-ung

Jean-Michel writes:
These bubbles are in one crystal of orthopyroxene in a thin section at 400x magnification. We don't know if the bubbles were formed by gas, a liquid, or both because the bubbles were empty! This was certainly due to the weathering level of the meteorite.
