Hi Greg,

Interesting stones.

At first glance, my thoughts were - the first one looks like a
terrestrial breccia, or a lunar.

There is also a stone that looks a little like a brachinite and
another that reminds me of a ureilite or carbonaceous type.

How do these samples react to a magnet, streak test, etc?

Best regards,

MikeG
