> To help researchers in the ongoing studies of angrite NWA 4590
> "Tamassint",
> I have cut the 66-gram main mass resulting in the first ever slices of
> this
> meteorite. To my surprise, cutting it resulted in very stable slices which
> I
> was also able to lightly polish on one side. After supplying an internal
> slice to scientists, there are a few additional specimens that I would
> like

> of all angrites, especially after viewing a polished surface!
