Bronzite

This bronzite (orthopyroxenite) is from very close to our favorite taverna in the Pindos.
It's sheen in the sun (and in the scanner) positively shows us why it's called bronzite.
Orthopyroxene grains are on the scale of multiple cm; the bronzite pegmatite is found in a dike within mantle harzburgite.
We take lots of samples, giving us lots of excuses to go to the taverna as well.
