These ultramafic rocks are high volume melts and so can include a large amount of metal sulfide, normally a restite phase.

Thin sections are used by geologists to examine rocks in microscop...

Apparently either adapter slipped initially or (more likely) I just got the top and bottom set wrong, cutting off the bottom of the dime. The black background is a piece of fabric...
