I think what Famer means is the later recovered Brahin that has flooded t=
hat market. It is unstable! Or at least the piece I bought is. A campo =
slice stood next to my Brahin in my display case. The Campo has one tiny=
 spot of rust. The Brahin in about 6 months....fell into three pieces. =
Rust seems to form in lines that jagged around the olivine. The Campo ru=
st did not spread. I was told by someone I wont mention that the nuclear=
 accident was somewhat close to the find spot and this is the reason. I =
dont think I believe that but figured I would share it. =20

For whatever thats worth,

Hello All!

It seems I am one of the lucky ones who has got one of these exceptions.
I bought my 195-gram Brenham slice about 15 years ago and it still looks
exactly the same. It is a very stable specimen but I must admit though
that I've kept it in one of my three desiccators most of the time.

Best wishes,

Bernd
