Hi Adam-

Upon further review of the active auctions I must admit that it was one of
the completed ones that reminded me of the dark inclusions.

That is the one I was thinking of, very irregular morphology and only at the
periphery..but on closer inspection it does have different character than
what I sent to CML/Japan.

Another reason to get a hold of some of this material if you haven't
already. The CV parent body is giving us all kinds of clues right now.

Best of luck in this, looks cool.
