Dear fellow meteorite collectors,
about one week ago, I posted a message to this list suggesting
to collect some money to buy a sample of the Almahata Sitta
meteorite (the remnants of asteroid 2008 TC3) for Richard
Kowalski (the discoverer of 2008 TC3 and meteorite collector).
By now, US$

I got this report from someone on my blog:
“On July 26, 2009 I found an unusual rock lying on top of some mulch

It is gray, with irregular shape,
At first glance I would say this is NOT from the fall. Fresh falls have a dark
fusion crust.
I think it could be slag - it's funny because I have a piece sitting on my desk
that is dark green with a white coating on it - much like the stone in the
pictures.
All I can say is when you find a
Mike,
I'm pretty sure this is an Earth rock, limestone maybe? There would almost
certainly be fusion crust on a fresh fall. I do like the heart shaped
picture though.

Would be interested on any comments on this Toluca sample that I came across
on ebay. According to the seller, the sample was purchased from a collector
in Spain named Ceruda and the troilite is the crossed lines on the
specimen.
Having lived in Alaska, specifically Kotzebue while working for the Air
Force,
I can tell you that there were many rocks of that coloration and smoothness.
He got exactlly right when he called it an Alaskan Egg Rock because thats
just what
it isan egg shaped rock.

Hi Mark and List,
That's a weird looking etch. I assume, if it's meteorite, that it's
oxidized. Are the little black squiggly-lines the result of
oxidation? If not, then I've never seen anything like it, in person
or in photos.
I'm always a little suspect of meteorites and tektites offered by
Hi Mike,
Thanks for the input.
I thought troilite was supposed to be exbibited as round or oval-shaped
inclusions in irons like Toluca. I have never seen crossed lines of
troilite as shown in the photo.
Yes, the dealer indicated that he obtained the description from the
collector Ceruda.
Hi Mark,
probably the slice was or is sealed with a layer of lacquer
and these lines are simply rust which grew underneath.
I observed the same lines developing once in a sealed Morasko slice.
Best!

Thanks to all that replied.
Very interesting about the lacquer that John and Martin noted.
There could be some misunderstanding between the collector who supplied the
sample to the ebay dealer. The crossed lines description reportedly came
from the collector, but may have been misinterpreted
Mark, List,
It looks to me like an etched iron meteorite slice that has been clear
coated and is rusting. Corrosion will boil up and worm its way around under
coatings. Some Toluca have prominent troilite. None is obvious in this
slice but it still could very well be a Toluca. Maybe someone
I'm with Ken on this matter. I, frankly, am dumbfounded to see this material
held out as meteorites, as I believe a member of an collectors association
should be held to a higher standard and should police themselves more strictly
than they police others.
It is a breach of good taste if not
Hello Mark, All,
Those squiggly lines are what Nininger coined lawrencite, a
corrosive disease that occurs primarily in the presence of
terrestrial salts. While the term is fairly well-recognized, it
generally applies to meteorites which experience accelerated oxidation

Hi Jason,
Thanks for the info. Looks like you're right.
I checked Rocks from Space, and color plate IV has a picture of a Toluca
specimen with a closeup of ferric hydroxide and hydrochloric acid exuding

And it looks like some of those brown crossed
Hello Mark,
I wouldn't be surprised in the least if the fellow already knew - I've
sent such messages before, only to meet a stone wall of silence, or a
vehement denial of the facts from a mineral dealer who knows less than
they think they do about rocks from space. That said, it could well
be an
Hi Jason,
No, I decided not to bid after all. When it was 99 cents, that was on
thing. But if my memory serves me correctly, last time I checked it was
about $22.
But has anyone heard of a Spanish collector named Ceruda? Sounds like the
beginning of some suspense movie!

Maybe Olalla Cernuda ?

Aloha,
Since my original post on this subject June 1, a lot has transpired
and I thought it in the best interest of the parties involved, as well
as the members of this list to know (as the late Paul Harvey would
say) The rest of the story.
The meteorites I had purchased were won on ebay
Could be.
The ebay dealer described Ceruda as one of the biggest minerals and
meteorites collectors of Spain with a high reputation. The ebay dealer
obtained his description of the sample from him and mentioned that the
description was on the meteorite label.

I was trolling the internets for info and found this report:
I saw this shooting star up in Pa. I was driving north on route 476
and saw the night sky turn bluish green. The meteor came from behind
me and passed on my left side. I saw it breakup into 6 smaller pieces
and watched them burn out.
