Newswise — A  University of Toronto-led study has uncovered tiny zircon 
crystals
in a  meteorite originating from Vesta (a large asteroid between Mars and
Jupiter)  shedding light on the formation of planetesimals, small astronomical
objects  that form the basis of planets.

Hi list,  Cool article!  Every  one should give it a read and then go to my 
Gallery and see Eucrite Crystals in  cross polarized light.  Start with Juvinas 
at 160X.
