	All of these inclusions are from crystals found in Montgomery County, NC. The chlorite and siderite is obvious as their form is textbook. The single rhombohedral crystals were possibly feldspar or maybe even calcite but whatever it was it appears to have been dissolved away leaving their hollow cast behind. The white inclusions, (spike balls and fibers) I'm not really sure about. I'm guessing the white fibers are some type of amphibole, but the spike balls I have no clue.

	Now that's definite Grade "A" material & photography... Even the specimen thinks so.
