Hi List:

I bought this meteorite recently, and it seems different than other chondrites I have seen.? It is loaded with free metal and seems a bit heavier than other chondrites I have.? The exterior almost look like an Iron.? It has been polished and in the matrix there are very small (well preserved) chondrules.? In some areas there is this bright purplish brown color - very similar to a brecciated Lodranite.

Take a look at: ? http://www.flickr.com/photos/9106270 at N04/

I welcome any thoughts and opinions.

Thanks,

Greg S.?
