So, maybe Steve's polarizer = will help create a lot of thin section collectors. I know it sure has = changed my opinion of thin section collecting. Hurry up and get these into production, Steve!!!

Jim's currant = auction is a great value and had I not already had the thin section I = would seriously consider bidding. NWA998 through Schoner's Polarview and my microscope http://www.meteoritearticles.com/files/NWA998ts.JPG NWA998 using only Schoner's Polarview http://www.meteoritearticles.com/files/NWA998polarview.JPG Note: Photos were taken through my camera (Nikon 990) but not touched = up. The photo using only the Polarview was the first time I had tried to = use it by itself and was surprized how great it turned out. I don't have = any good light inside my house so I took it outdoors and was holding it = up funny trying to get the camera under it. This attracted the attention = of some of the neighborhood kids. They ran across ot my porch and asked, = "What are you taking a photo of?" (I buy the neighborhood kids ice cream = from time to time if they agree to leave the rocks outside my door = alone...so they always look to see what I am up to). "A Mars rock." I calmly answered. "Really" One of them replied. "No Way!" declared another. Kids being kids, one shoved one of the others and was quickly = insulted. "Your a Mars rocks!" "No you are!" Then they ran = off....perhaps to bother another neighbor in hopes of getting free ice = cream. Anyway, my point in this story is that the kids saw the Mars rock as = not believable. Something made up. Unreal or at the best surreal. Much = like out currant "Dealer Refund" string. So to the person asking for a = refund from Steve Arnold. You my friend, are a Mars rock.
