Hello everyone:
 
For what it is worth, my 18 gram end cut of Rose City looks very similar to the ASU specimen, very dark matrix and loaded with metal. I started to bid on one of these ebay Rose City pieces but the email I received did not substantiate the provenance of the piece so I passed on it.
 
The theory that there may be two distinct types of material in the Rose City meteorite is plausible but I cannot think of one single meteorite that has such contrasting matrix material.
