Hello All, I got my 6.5-gram slice of Carsten's (GIPO) unusual CK3 today and what I observe surely blows my socks off. What a meteorite!
Here are some features that make my slice a true highlight: - light-colored chondrules have seams of finely dispersed sulfide and magnetite - darker chondrules with thick rims (CKs usually are without such rims) - darker chondrules sulfide-rimmed (with occasional FeNi blebs) - sulfide and FeNi even in chondrule interiors - extraordinary chondrule sizes (up to 3.25 mm) CK chondrules usually ca. 1 mm! - more than just traces of FeNi metal - extremely sulfide-rich (pentlandite) - moderate silicate-darkening - contains CAIs Thank you, Carsten, for this rare carbonaceous beauty!
