Meteorite: Dar al Gani (DaG) 478
Classification: L6
Process: Cross Polarized Light
I don't know much about this meteorite.  It was found in 1998 in Libya.  The thin section I used was from Ivan Koutyrev.
 
The last two photos are examples of the various polarizers, analyzers, sliders, and filters I use to bring out the intense colors.  Retardation filters (filters that retard a certain spectrum of the light wavelength a full or fraction of a wavelength) are ideal to enhance any Xpol viewing.
