Hi Ron, Bob, and List,

Another, equally confusing piece of information is this one:

> They want to study this meteorite because the crystals

and, of course, that expression:

> The crystals formed after the hot
> m e t e o r  landed and later cooled.

Bob further questioned:

Well, this could well be a genuine piece of Mundrabilla

Best regards,

Bernd
