Seam flatteners in Rodingite, top, and Peridotite, bottom. Moment of 'Why Not' today as I did final packdown tasks in the lab before leaving after 15 years at that job. God I love diamond tools.
The Rodingite has come out particularly nice. This one is mostly grossular garnet, but with some pale white omphacite as a decompression metamorphism product from the grossular. The opaque is probably a chromite, but I'm not sure, I haven't made a thin section of this material, and now, won't get the chance.
