Re: [meteorite-list] Electric metallic blue inclusion in Ensisheim

Nice picture! The blue color is probably caused by interference in a thin oxide coating on the sulphide inclusion. Just like a thin layer of oil on water can create a rainbow pattern of different colours. This effect is also seen in a number of minerals like pyrite, chalcopyrite and bornite.

Great pic and nice specimen Shawn. That appears exactly the same as the blue inclusion in my Blue Buzzard! ;-) http://www.meteorites.com.au/features/buzzardcoulee.html I've seen them in a couple of other pieces too and on every occasion they seem to be associated with Troilite. Bornite was

[meteorite-list] Effects of winds aloft on darkflight phase

It would seem that there has been significant data captured fairly recently on the effects of winds aloft on the darkflight phase of a meteorite's journey. I recall that the winds had shifted the axis of the strewnfield from the track of the bolide in cases like Park Forest. So, the question

On exposure to air, chalcopyrite oxidises to a variety of oxides, hydroxides and sulfates. Associated copper minerals include the sulfides bornite (Cu5FeS4), chalcocite (Cu2S), covellite (CuS), digenite (Cu9S5); carbonates such as malachite and azurite, and rarely oxides such as cuprite

There are no online sites the can provide the reach that Ebay does. Ebay knows this, hence their overinflated fees and idiotic policies which are driving away sellers. No sellers + Nothing to buy = Less money for Ebay! Seems rather counter intuitive to me. I say Ebay should raise their fees

Re: [meteorite-list] Ad Ebay sellers must see

Ebay has great reach. I will be using my website more and trying (as I have been, this fee raise has been known for months) Its really bad, will cause the buyers to pay more due to sellers marking up price to match the new cut ebay wants. Greg Catterton www.wanderingstarmeteorites.com IMCA
