Hi List Members,

I have some awesome slices of Chico, New Mexico, L6 impact melt
available for anyone interested. Chico is an absolutely beautiful and
historic meteorite on display at University of New Mexico's Institute
of Meteoritics. This meteorite, from the Lincoln LaPaz collection, is
super cool and has large melt veins, vesicles, and huge vugs filled
with accreted metal. The following is a link to pictures of four nice
slices:

Additional slices are available but the pictures give you an idea of
what the meteorite looks like plus the sizes and weights.

Please let me know if you have any questions, I am happy to help!

Thank you very much,

Patrick Thompson
