Hello List,

Presently my five favorite chondrites are the following:

1. My 28.08-gram Wiluna (H5) with its delicate flow lines, its
    rich brownish-black crust - and it does look like G a s p r a !

2. My 30.8-gram NWA 0869 (L4 ?) - it has awesome brecciation
    and one large achondritic (?) clast (0.7 x 0.5 mm) + abundant
    FeNi specks.

3. My 45.5-gram Sahara 99420 (L6) - see MetTimes Interview

   Breathtaking complete metal-rich slice with
   metal pockets, shock veins, and ringwoodite.

4. My 251 g and 131 g NWA 1685 specimens (LL6) with
    primary + secondary fusion crust, several regmaglypts,
    and creamy-white, light-gray, and medium-gray clasts.

5. My 13.5-gram Kilabo slice (LL6)

   Shocked, brecciated, absolutely pristine
   stone - an aesthetic feast for the eye !

    Best regards,

    Bernd
