Take a look at this, I got a box full of slices today,
and they are simply breathtaking! Marlin Cilz told me
he has not cut a more beautful iron.
What do the list members think the large emerald green
crystals are? Pyroxene? Every slice seems to have one
or two of them. The silicated and etch pattern in the
silicated area reminds me a lot of Steinbach.
The Smithsonian Institute will be doing the
classification on this new iron. The work will be
exhaustive and complete.
I need to sell some now though, as I spent a lot of
cash on the meteorite. The photos speak for
themselves, this is one of he most beautiful Irons I
have ever had my hands on!
The price will be $5.00 gram, I have slices from about
80 grams up to almost 500 grams right now, more will
be coming in a couple of weeks.
I only have 7 slices right now, so email quick for a
piece.
