They all fascinate me. So many different minerals tightly packed together is not at all what I imagined the interiors would look like. I expected more homogeneity. This one is a bit unusual. What's with the 2 metallic-looking bits at about 2 o'clock? They look like sheets of copper were cut; it's probably iron. Perhaps this is the homogeneity I anticipated, lol.

@stevesplace they fascinate me too, the ones you are referring to could be inclusions of a different class as happens in chondrites. right why no homogeneity... perhaps the official theory is incorrect and a better theory is needed that can explain it.
