Thanks, everyone, for taking the time to look, and your valued opinions.
The consensus seems to be ringwoodite.
Marc Fries has generously volunteered to personally examine the meteorite.
I'll let the list know what the final analysis is. Hopefully, it won't be

Hello Pete and List,
Maybe it is ringwoodite that you spotted and photographed
in your unclassified NWA. As for the blue/purple something
that I found in my NWA 1584 (LL5) slice, I don't expect it

Hello,
Does anyone know whether the black stone of Paphos, the stone once
worshipped as Aphrodite, is truly a meteorite?
I am looking for a text in the classics describing the fall, but I

Although it's small, it appears to be the
only photo on the web. It looks very much

visible in the photo to suggest it isn't.

Sacred black stone, this one the goddess Aphrodite from Paphos,
Cyprus. Worshiped as early as the 12th century BC.
I see, yes. Odd how there aren't any more photos of it online.
I guess it had an interesting first day on Earth. For someone

Hello, Chris, Sterling, Martin A., and List,
In Burke's Cosmic Debris you also find a few lines about the Paphos
meteorite: There were three temples of Aphrodite (Venus) in Asia Minor
that were connected to a meteorite: the first was at Aphaca, a sacred
place not far from Byblos, where the second

That's a useful quote, I can use this!

It makes me wonder whether baetyls which were not meteorites were
actually meteowrongs, discovered after a
I think its a movie efect.
Too big looking bolide, too small (no) shock
wave, and this (on fire) falling thing right after impact (like piece of
paper or
material). Persons cough alot but impact dust going to different direction.
Bolide fall to camera-man direction, people should be killed by

Hi All,
Does anyone have any information about a museum called the
Mineralosko-Petrografski Muzej?
I believe it is in Zagreb, Croatia. Is this right?
Also, is hondrit a translation for chondrite, or just a typo?
Thanks,
Martin
