Hi Paul and all, The blue halide crystals were found early on in Zag. I believe they were found in other meteorites (Monahans, Tx?) but information has a way of finding it's way back into the public eye. Don't have information handy right now but thought I would comment.
Yes, they were packed out by camel and the camel sweat story was a part of the story. Perhaps ET will comment as he brought out a number of specimens from this fall in 1998.
