Historic and Rare Meteorites in Thin
Section
Meteorite thin-sections are
carefully prepared glass slides suitable for mineralogical and petrology
studies when viewed through a microscope. They are thin slices of
meteorites that have been carefully ground down and polished so thinly that
light can pass through the meteorite's crystalline structures.
In transmitted light, thin
sections reveal the texture and crystal shape of minerals and other identifying
meteoritical characteristics while through polarized light, the
mineralogy is awash in color allowing for more complete mineral
identification.
These images
were taken from the thin section being offered.
