Hi List,

Joe Kerchner's gorgeous new bencubbinite-like material prompted me to
do a bit of reading about josephinite and awaruite---which is not
meant to imply his material is either.

I was taken aback to learn that josephinite is known to exhibit a
Widmanst?tten pattern---which i had believed until now to be a fool-
proof diagnostic characteristic in the identification of a
meteorite. I had difficulty locating an image of the same.
Anyone? Thanks.
