It appars as though the "blueberys" are harder material than the "stuff" that holds some of them. This one took quite a shine from Opportunity's buffing job . . .

The shiny buffed berry bears remarkable resemblance to those found when Opportunity dug a trench about a month ago.

Phil, what's your best guess on the reasons for such shiny stones (if they are stones)?

I have a gut level feeling that they are not being entirely forthcoming with all of the microscopic images of the last few sols. And a good portion of what they are posting is out of focus. They spent a lot of time of "berry-bowl" and there seems to be a huge gap in imagery.

So when can we expect the next "clear the decks" newser from NASA?
