Congratulations on the Sterley, Ruben.
And thanks for posting that stunning 7034 photo!
The matrix reminds me of a Hubble deep field image...
without the red-shift. But with a misplaced moon. ;^)

> Hi all,
>
> I just returned from New Mexico where I delivered a stellar slice of
> our new Sterley pallasite to the University of New Mexico. Geoff and I
> are very happy that this rare pallasite will be prominently displayed
> in the UNM collection. This makes 5 institutions that have added a
> Sterley specimen to their collection!
>
> Once the website is updated there will be only 10 slices left -
> assuming Geoff and I choose to keep a slice. So, if you're wanting to
> add Sterley to your collection don't wait too long or you could miss
> out. Once it's gone, it's gone and it will be as impossible to get as
> any other rare (and low TKW) pallasite.

> While visiting with Carl Agee (Director and Curator, Institute of
> Meteoritics Professor, Earth and Planetary Sciences) at UNM, I was
> lucky enough to get to examine "Black Beauty" NWA 7034 in person. To
> be honest, I think I would have assumed this meteorite was
> carbonaceous, if not told different. It's heavy, a magnet sticks to it
> (so I'm told) and it even has roundish chondrule looking inclusions.

> It was very interesting.

> Here's a close up photo that I took. Believe me I'll be looking at all
> the NWA's in Tucson in hopes of finding another.
