Hello,
Today I am offering a very rare and unusual Ataxite from Texas. The
Griffith, Texas Ataxite is ungrouped and is loaded with many rare
elements. It is a soft Ataxite compared to others, and was difficult
to polish. Many of the slices have inclusions, some very light and

2) NWA 5407, 3-Layer Cake

I haven't been following this thread very closely, but here's a maybe. A
few years ago I recall watching a program about the Egyptian Pyramids that
mentioned some kind of instrument made from a meteorite. I believe it was
used in some kind of religious rites. Would by any chance this fit

Marc,
It is just that every newspaper article and every interview usually touches on
the fact that collectors get all the material and science is left in the dark.
I am proving the point that commercial and private collectors actually provide
the bulk of the material to science. We have

The Schlieren effect is produced by variations
in the index of refraction in a material, often
associated with differences in density if the
material is homogeneous in composition but
can be produced by changes in composition
