NWA 2824 Meteorite Thin Section
Cross polarized thin section of NWA 2824, a diogenite with a multitude of white-gray needle like inclusions which, in their color and texture, resemble those found in the Ibitira Meteorite Thin Section. These are described as “Plagioclase recrystallized into complex spherulitic textures.” See this link for more classification information on diogenites.
