NWA 5028 Meteorite Thin Section
The NWA 5028 meteorite makes a stunningly beautiful thin section mosaic. With its large calcium-aluminum-rich inclusions and numerous chondrules, viewers are taken to an alien terrain billions of years old – to a time when the first objects were forming in the Solar System.

NWA 8251 Meteorite Thin Section
NWA 8251 Meteorite fragments contain brilliant green clinopyroxene crystals, which have earned it the nickname “Green-Eyed” Lodranite. This lodranite breccia creates a uniquely beautiful cross polarized thin section. The wide size, texture, color, and features of the individual grains which compose the breccia make this one of my absolute favorite thin sections to explore. Picture of the original fragment.
