It looks like someone with very poor taste spray-painted it with Krylon Glitter Gold. Could it be something related to a high troilite content? I know that troilite sometimes looks brassy to the naked eye, but I've never seen anything like the meteorite in your photo. It is very unusual, and coming from anyone else I would suspect it was painted. But I think you have something unique there and should have it classified. Whatever you find out about it, please share it with the List and let us know. :) Best regards and happy huntings, MikeG On 4/1/10, habibi abdelaziz <azizhabibi at yahoo.com> wrote: > hey all > > got some time now and i missed meteorite, sorry if i miss any emails or > didn't answer;; > > ok many collectors ask me why this iron has this golden color, > what is the process , that make it looking like that. > and why the Widmanst?tten" patterns is showing on the surface, > http://www.flickr.com/photos/azizhabibi/page3/ > can someone answer please ,as myself i do not know why its golden color, > i know i have sold two small cut iron that was looking like gold, i may have > photo in my archives. > > thanks > aziz habibi > > habibi aziz > box 70 erfoud 52200 morroco > phone. 21235576145 > fax.21235576170</font> > > > > ______________________________________________ > Visit the Archives at > http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html > Meteorite-list mailing list > Meteorite-list at meteoritecentral.com > http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list > -- ------------------------------------------------------------ Mike Gilmer - Galactic Stone & Ironworks Meteorites http://www.galactic-stone.com http://www.facebook.com/galacticstone ------------------------------------------------------------Received on Thu 01 Apr 2010 05:11:42 PM PDT |
