Since I couldn't make it to Tucson, I took a closer look at some
unusual stones I've culled out of NWA purchases and would like
opionions on a couple of them if anyone is willing to share.

Here is one I believe to possibly be an E-type. What do you think?

This next one is a long-shot. There may be some remnant crust and I
believe it's mostly olivine or something that looks similar. The
abraded edges remind me a lot of broken crystals/chondrules I've seen
in fresher chondrites. Very light attraction to a magnet. Oh, it is
slightly oriented :-) Any chance it could be a meteorite?
