Interesting indeed! I like smelling fresh pieces of meteorites in the morning
and getting high off the aromas! (j/k though whenever I get my hands on
particularly an unweathered meteorite, I have to take some sniffs of it)


Imagine having a sizable broken chunk of Allende (smells something like lime
(the fruit) IMO), Murchison or NWA 096 (bubble gum chondrite) in your room?
Could make for an nice air freshener!
