Hello once again.
I will contact Blaine Reed today, to get a sample of his R5. This will =
be sorted out. Just one note on looks in hand specimens. YOU CAN NOT go =
on looks alone. Take Portales Valley, some samples totally metal rich =
veins. Some samples H6 stone with almost no metal. Same meteorite, looks =
like they are from different universes. Brenham, I have seen tones of =
the normal olivine pallasite. Then I have seen pieces with nice =
octahedrite iron, no olivine's. Are we getting the point yet? Everyone =
knows that meteorites can change drastically from piece to piece but be =
the same meteorite. I was told in Morocco that my pieces came from the =
same one that Dean got some of, and I think the rest might have gone to =
David Gregory, which is where Blaine got his from.
R5 is an extremely rare type, and unless you think a whole cluster of =
separate R5 showers happened in NWA recently (they are all very fresh), =
then just like so many other NWA meteorites, these are paired.=20

PS, sorry Matteo, no fighting here, no need for it. This is a proper =
discussion, the type that this list was made for.=20
