Hi All,

I have two very nice partial individuals of Pasamonte, both with crust and Nininger numbers. However one is highly attracted to a magnet, while the other is not.

Before jumping to all kinds of speculation, I would like to ask a favor of this List that really uses the power of a discussion group like this forum. Could those of you with pieces of Pasamonte (the 1933 eucrite fall) hold a strong magnet to your you piece(s) and report back as how your Pasamonte piece responded to the magnet. It might also help if you noted the rough size of the piece and the relative strength of the magnet.

Thanks, and let the amateur science begin!

Martin
