Hey Everybody,
Here's an update on my research into the mysteries of the pyrite framboid.

As of last week the pyrite dust (framboids) has been successfully extracted from the shale dust with the LST heavy liquid so genously given by Paul. That same week the SEM at SUNY Oswego was installed, and I was given a quick rundown by the lab tech. Luckily, it being a JEOL and I having used a JEOL at SUNY ESF, has given me a head start with the understanding of this new SEM.

As of now some of the SEM's instruments are still be installed. Meaning that I'm just biding my time until the SEM is ready for me to use it. Then I will finally be able to see if this method yields fruitful results.

Till next time, CJ
