This is ideal to study the stripy polysomatic surface BO-textures, and the jet black shiny turtleback texture up close to learn how to identify micrometeorites in urban dust. Recommended together with the Atlas of Micrometeorites and the How to Find Stardust books, which you will find in the Treasures from Space bookstore. 

The ten micrometeorites are in the size range between 0.2 and 0.3, and several of them have golden nickel-iron beads on the surface. A meteorite collection is incomplete without real stardust particles, and here you can get ten of Jon Larsen’s findings from last year, directly from the man who discovered them in the first place:
