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.
