Hello everyone — it’s been a while! I’m glad to be back and to share an update on the specimen I first posted here. After further analyses I published a full report documenting diasporescence in the specimen. The silvery linear sheen is diasporic in origin, not mica alone. The full dataset (PDF, images, videos) is available here: DOI 10.6084/m9.figshare.32743821 . Huge thanks to everyone who contributed ideas on the original thread — your input helped shape the follow‑up analysis. I’m happy to answer questions and hear your thoughts.

Kadda,

Thank you for sharing this! I know the effort to investigate the nature of the specimen was a burden on you. Sharing the data without compensation is a growing trend in the scientific community when publishing the results.

The world-wide open science community is growing every day with contributions like this. So, thank you!

-Cheers!

Thank you so much for your kind words. It is truly heartening to receive such support from the IGS community.

I am a firm believer in Open Science, and it is thanks to the encouragement and support of peers like you that this work has finally come to light. Sharing these findings is my contribution to our collective knowledge, and I am glad it resonates with the community.

The journey to investigate ‘The Noble’ was indeed a long one, but seeing it contribute to the growing world-wide open science trend makes every bit of effort worth it.

Cheers!

everything is just a mineral or rock. The scientific story behind the rock is more valuable than the rock itself.
