While this is not a copper meteorite, some of the fresher SaU 001 show a
strong copper finish or "patina". Does any one know if this is a result of
vaporization of metals in the meteorite or just an unusual weathering process?

I have reasoned it is a result of heat and not weathering as the more
weathered examples no longer display this feature.

"The only known copper meteorite in the world." Which is that? Who
has it today? I would like to catch a glimpse of it if I could.
