In anticipation of the forthcoming press conference in relation to the Sapphire Canyon sample, check out these earlier insights posted back in April: the sampled rock "contains compelling features that may help answer whether Mars was home to microscopic life in the distant past"

This should be interesting: NASA's holding a press conference to discuss Cheyava Falls, a rock found by Percy (the #Perseverance rover) last year. Details: https://www.space.com/space-exploration/mars-rovers/nasa-to-reveal-new-perseverance-mars-rover-discovery-tomorrow-how-to-watch-live
For some background on the Cheyava Falls rock, here's the #NASA press release from last year: https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/nasas-perseverance-rover-scientists-find-intriguing-mars-rock/
And the Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheyava_Falls
A press conference of this sort, with that guest list, isn't because the rock proved to be dull. :-)
See y'all there, fellow #space fans!
Demain, la #Nasa tiendra une conférence de presse pour discuter d'une nouvelle découverte du rover #Perseverance ! La dite découverte est présentée dans un article scientifique (sous embargo jusqu'à demain) cosigné par votre serviteur. 
Restez à l'écoute ! #Mars https://www.nasa.gov/news-release/nasa-to-share-details-of-new-perseverance-mars-rover-finding/
What has Percy found now? NASA Press teleconference tomorrow Wed Sept. 10, 11EDT/16UK on the
analysis of the Mars "Sapphire Canyon" rock sample from the suspected ancient river valley area of the Jezero crater

And now that we know what to look for, here is the same as seen by the SUPERCAM. The visible part here is ~3cm:

„tele-present wind (Mars wind version)“ von David Bowen (US) – ein Feld aus getrockneten Grashalmen, die sich im Ausstellungsraum nach den Daten des Marsrovers Perseverance bewegen. Eine poetische Verbindung von Erde und Mars, Natur und Technologie – der Wind eines anderen Planeten wird hier spürbar.

… although its size is extremely small for that kind of horror.
Here is that same rough stone in the shade of the turret; it appears to be just a few centimeters wide:
