Wonderful! Thanks Mike. This fragment started out as 9.3 grams with ~1/3 crust. I polished a = face (with alchol) and the piece ended up as 7.9 grams. This loss was = well worth it because the micro brecciation is astonding! I now have a wonderful fresh LL6 with a nice polished face showing = beautiful brecciation as well as lots of crust and a third fragmented = face. Life is good! This piece also has a nice metalic golden inclusion. Colour and luster = similar to pyrite. I have seen these in other posted images as well. = Can someone confirm what these inclusions are. I believe I read a post = that mentioned Troilite?
