Thank you Dirk.
 
And if I may add to your Ad;
If you would like to have a close-up look at that rare and unusual
meteorite, I do have a couple thin-sections, expertly made, and with large viewing
area. Here is what a very knowledgeable collector had to say about it:
         The samples are roughly oval, 12mm wide and 17mm long. They are
top quality, made by the best in the business. It is virtually all olivine.
The lace of fine fractures is filled with metal, sulfides and other opaques.
Some fractures contain mineral grains that show well and in bright contrast
when the rest of the specimen is put into optical extinction.

And here is a picture to convince you: _http://www.impactika.com/dunite.jpg_

More pictures upon request.
But I only have a couple thin-sections available!
