[meteorite-list] Polarizing microscopes thin sections on a budget

Hi List, I don’t remember when I saw my first meteorite thin section through a polarizing microscope. I feel certain I must have seen photographs first. Many years ago I found a polarizing adaptor that would work on a stereo gemstone microscope that I owned. I then started buying a few thin

Re: [meteorite-list] On Quasicrystals and meteorites

Excellent article! Thanks for the link. Josephinite and Allende also mentioned. Sure enough, the rock had the oxygen fingerprint of a meteorite, and a rare and old kind, too: a CV3 carbonaceous chondrite... John On Fri, Jun 13, 2014 at 12:29 PM, Yinan Wang via Meteorite-list

Re: [meteorite-list] Detained at LAX for Esquel

Hi Mike, Sounds to me like the issue with the federal agents from both countries is that you imported meteorites on Dec. 10, 2014 to the US that originated from Argentina. Their concern is that you brought Argentine meteorites into the US from Asia / Europe based on the import / export laws of
