The NWA 5028 meteorite makes a stunningly beautiful thin section mosaic. The large CAIs are especially nice to view. Many nice chondrules of various types.
Question: What causes some CAIs to appear almost invisible in cross polarized light, while others are incredibly brilliant?
Mosaic taken with a Nikon D810 and composed of 58 individual images.
