Hi Mike,

I wish I could take credit, but these new specimens were all cut and prepared for me by Dan Wray, and what an amazing job he did!! They came out better then I could have hoped and I must say, it truly felt like Christmas unwrapping and seeing them for the first time.

The melt rocks are spectacular. I was floored by the flowing matrix and metal. I've recovered a lot of material from the Kentland locality, but these were above and beyond.
