The first person who can correctly identify the mineral marked in the
following micrograph will win US$10,000 from me. The winner should
specify the correct name of the mineral and supply a credible
micrograph to support his/her identification . The winner’s
micrograph
must be labelled with the size and the crystals of the mineral.

I sent some shots to Dr. Irving and he was so cool! He took the time to
provide an explanation of this glass. This is what he wrote.

"The clear glass is maskelynite, which is produced by shock transformation
of plagioclase (labradorite) during ejection of most Martian meteorites
(except nakhlites). It's called a diaplectic glass, and is formed not by
melting but by shock distortion of the feldspar crystal structure to the
point where it becomes amorphous and amazingly clear (limpid like distilled
water). Thus it will not have any vesicles (just tiny inclusions of pigeonite,
phosphates, oxides, etc. that were originally inside the plagioclase on Mars).
However, elsewhere in the thin section there could be some cross-cutting dark,
glassy shock veins that do contain vesicles (of trapped Martian air, which in
other shergottites is the proof of Martian origin for all such rocks).

Please pay Dr Irving $10,000.

Do you suppose this halfwit can find the funds for a reasonable
lifestyle outside of a hostel for the homeless?

He displays all the symptoms of a delusional, obsessive-compulsive
living in a closed fantasy world of his own.

Dr. Irving was talking about glass area of the Martian thin section,
not about the area I marked.
