Dear List Members,

I just returned from Morocco and Western Sahara a couple days ago. 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).

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:
