This is a thin section specimen of the D’Orbigny Meteorite. The thin section photographs were taken under cross polarized light using two linear polarizing filters. The first set of pictures is from a nicer CCD and microscope. For a good link to more Angrite pictures, see here. Angrites always look spectacular in polarized light.
