Hello Gary and list,

"I am struck by the porocity of the specimen." What you are seeing most is
spaces in cracks due to weathering.

"And those 'cubic' inclusions." The "inclusions" are more and less
weathered portions (depending on how you want to see it) of the meteorite.
The meteorite is very very old. Part of the meteorit had iron leach out of
it over time...the lighter part. Add another weathering stage and the
portions with more metal, starting weathering faster.

It is perhaps the best deal in meteorites today, with prices at around $1.00
a gram and less.

Clear Skies,
Mark Bostick
