Unfortunately you get what you pay for. If you want a beautiful stable pallasite, buty Esquel or Imilac. Luckly your specimen was not too big so you probably did not pay much for it.</P></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Randy</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>>From: "Ian Barrett" <JELLYFYSH_at_HOTMAIL.COM> <DIV></DIV>>To: meteorite-list_at_meteoritecentral.com <DIV></DIV>>Subject: [meteorite-list] Cracking Brahin Pallasite <DIV></DIV>>Date: Tue, 27 Aug 2002 16:09:27 +0000 <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>Last night I examined my two inch slice of brahin Pallasite and I've <DIV></DIV>>not loked closely at it for a while. It has developed a crack all <DIV></DIV>>along one side and when I gently applied pressure to the slice it <DIV></DIV>>broke in three pieces !! <DIV></DIV>>It's my fave piece and I've not been collecting for long so may have <DIV></DIV>>missed something but I was under the impression that Brahin was <DIV></DIV>>pretty stable. Am I wrong ? <DIV></DIV>>Can anyone offer any advice for the future as to how I should store <DIV></DIV>>pallasites - and other pieces for that matter to prevent <DIV></DIV>>decomposure. <DIV></DIV>>Thanks all. <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>Ian Barrett <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>_________________________________________________________________ <DIV></DIV>>Join the world’s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. <DIV></DIV>>http://www.hotmail.com <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>______________________________________________ <DIV></DIV>>Meteorite-list mailing list <DIV></DIV>>Meteorite-list_at_meteoritecentral.com <DIV></DIV>>http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list <DIV></DIV></div><br clear=all><hr>MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: <a href='http://g.msn.com/1HM1ENUS/c156??PI=44364'>Click Here</a><br></html> Received on Tue 27 Aug 2002 03:54:08 PM PDT |
