Of the few meteorites worth getting, I did get a single 362-gram Chergach H5-IMB stone which I cut and polished yesterday - AMAZING!! Here are some links to photos which show a distinct, shocked vein dividing the two different lithologies of H5 and Impact Melt Breccia (IMB). 39.9g cs http://www.lunarrock.com/ebay/6-23/dsc00001.jpg 38.9g cs http://www.lunarrock.com/ebay/6-23/dsc00002.jpg 38.3g cs http://www.lunarrock.com/ebay/6-23/dsc00003.jpg 31.3g ec http://www.lunarrock.com/ebay/6-23/dsc00004.jpg 26.1g ps http://www.lunarrock.com/ebay/6-23/dsc00005.jpg 16.9g ps (Breccia lith. with part of shock vein) http://www.lunarrock.com/ebay/6-23/dsc00006.jpg 14.6g ps http://www.lunarrock.com/ebay/6-23/dsc00007.jpg 5.2g ps (H5 lith. with shock vein) http://www.lunarrock.com/ebay/6-23/dsc00008.jpg 2.2g ps http://www.lunarrock.com/ebay/6-23/dsc00009.jpg 1.6g ps http://www.lunarrock.com/ebay/6-23/dsc00010.jpg 92.1g Complete with 99% crust http://www.lunarrock.com/ebay/6-23/dsc00011.jpg 64.1g Complete with 100% crust http://www.lunarrock.com/ebay/6-23/dsc00012.jpg cs-Complete Slice ps-Part Slice ec-End Cut I also got two excellent complete stones with fantastic fusion crust, one with a 15mm gunblue metal blob with flowlines protruding from the black crust. These weigh between 400-500 grams each. I traded my large scale while in Morocco so I can not get the exact weights until later this week. Here are the photos of these two beauties: Chergach #1 http://www.lunarrock.com/ebay/6-23/chergach1.jpg Chergach #2 http://www.lunarrock.com/ebay/6-23/chergach2.jpg Let me know what you think!
