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.

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 Mike Farmer PS, sorry Matteo, no fighting here, no need for it.
