[QUOTE="navieko, post: 507244, member: 988"] I somehow managed to get a dodgy close-up shot of the exposed metallic core via microscope and my phone camera...excuse the poor quality/graininess but at least in this shot you can get a better idea of the metallic core structure -- let me tell you it looks truly beautiful under the microscope... I wish I had a better camera for it as this shot does not do it justice! I'm thinking I'll try and heat it up and bust off the rest of the crust to leave just the metallic core/nugget.
