What is a thin section?       What do all the colors mean?

TKW 88 grams. Fall not observed. Found 2007.
 


Bill writes:
A thin-section of this 88.01g meteorite, between crossed polarizers, reveals a second order green holiday season tree or a patinated bell to ring in the 2018 New Year.

Photo 2 - same conditions as photo 1 with a quarter wave plate.

Patinated bell ringing out for Christmas,sounds good. Another guess: forest pond, begin of autumn season, surrounded by boskage and trees.
