I think both are Futrell pieces. I uploaded some photos to Photobucket. Links are below. First specimen is a Philippinite and the second is a Muong Nong. Philippinite (27g) - http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj24/Meteoritethrower/Meteorites/fp160.jpg Philippinite - http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj24/Meteoritethrower/Meteorites/fp-160-2.jpg Muong Nong (161g) - http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj24/Meteoritethrower/Meteorites/ft-649.jpg Muong Nong - http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj24/Meteoritethrower/Meteorites/ft-649-2.jpg Muong Nong - http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj24/Meteoritethrower/Meteorites/ft-649-3.jpg Best regards, MikeG -- ------------------------------------------------------------- Web - http://www.galactic-stone.com Facebook - http://www.facebook.com/galacticstone Twitter - http://twitter.com/GalacticStone RSS - http://www.galactic-stone.com/rss/126516 ------------------------------------------------------------- On 8/13/12, MikeG <meteoritemike at gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Gang, > > I echo the sentiments in the original post.
