High-level Description: Reticulite deposit, located behind Hawai'i Volcanoes
Observatory. Samples are ~2 cm diameter at their long axis, light brown glass
and very vesicular (~80% void space). Vesicles range in size from 0.1 mm to
2.0 mm, and glass threads between vesicles are ~40-50 micrometers in
diameter. Vesicles are spherical, except where they interfere with each
other. Vesicles are fairly evenly distributed for most samples. Pumice
fragments ~1 cm in diameter are associated with some reticulite samples
(3742, 3743); pumice is dark grey with fewer, more isolated vesicles 0.5 mm
to 1 mm in diameter, concentrated near the edges of fragments.
