High-level Description: Semi-distal scoria deposit. Fragments are 2-20 mm in
diameter, with a few hand-sized samples present. Scoria is glassy and
vesicular, with some fragments stretched and broken. The morphology of
fragments varies widely and includes ropes, pipes, Pele's tears and very
angular chunks. Olivine crystals are present in some fragments.

Texture
  Grain morphology and appearance: Dark black, glassy, very angular vesicular
fragments.
  Grain size and sorting: No individual grains. Fragments average 2-20 mm in
diameter and are poorly sorted.
  Grain fabric:  Some individual olivine crystals present; otherwise no
individual grains can be seen.

Sediment structure:  None.

Color:  Dark black, glassy, with some copper-brown.

Comparison:  Compare to images 3775-3778 where scoria are non-vitric,
crystalline but with no phenocrysts, displaying a low level of vesicularity.
Compare to proximal Kilauea Iki deposit in images 3845-3866, where morphology
is more frothy and les vitric, clast sizes are more mixed (sub-mm to 10 cm)
and exteriors are less glassy. Additionally, the proximal deposit has a
bimodal vesicle distribution (large/small).
