For those interested, here's a few pictures of the cut & polished faces: Richfield - http://fernlea.tripod.com/richfiel.jpg Bovedy - http://fernlea.tripod.com/bovedy.jpg Sarir Qattusah - http://fernlea.tripod.com/sq0012.jpg Ragland - http://fernlea.tripod.com/ragland1.jpg In recent weeks, one of the nicest "new" pieces I've seen is a carbonaceous chondrite going under the working name of Tagounite 084. It was first classified as a CV3, but the analysis didn't quite gel for CV....it's extremely magnesian with Fa <1. I had it re-classified a few weeks ago and the results came back saying that it's actually a CR3. Technically it's the first CR3 discovered (found 1999), but the re-classification means that it wasn't recognised as such until 2002. In the best interests of caution, it'll be printed as C3 with an NWA number later this year. Here's a picture - http://fernlea.tripod.com/t0849g7.jpg << , I think.
