Hi Sergey,

Those are nice pictures.
I see the secondary, I do not see slickenside.

I decided to take a look at all the samples for sale on Ebay. There is a
fellow there selling "slickenside" fragments. Even with those, I say
look closer.

I imagine you have been very busy! That's a good thing!

Cheers!
