in reply to YOGA~ZEN 🙏 • • •@yoguiignacio I am not too good at that but it is mostly Olivine, please see this quote and article for more info: "NWA 2737 consists of 85% vol. olivine (Mg#, molar Mg/(Mg + Fe),of 78.3 ± 0.4%), which is notable because it is black in hand sample and brown in thin section. Other minerals include chromite, pyroxenes (augite, pigeonite, orthopyroxene),and diaplectic glass of alkali-feldspar composition."
