G'day List,
I've had a 42g oriented shield for about 2-ish
years now which I bought on eBay for very little. I always thought it looked
unusual and suspected it might be an L7 or something like it. I was never
able to get a good surface as the stone had been windowed irregularly. I finally
chopped off the excess the other day and just polished it with emery. My
suspicions started when I got the 'annoyed looked' from my girlfriend as I
polished the piece. It made a really bad sound like finger nails down a black
board and was quite difficult to polish. Then under 10x magnification it
looks a little like my Shisr 007 piece except much grayer. There are no
chondrules and with two 1 inch rare earth magnets; very little
attraction.
It has proved extremely difficult to photograph
but there are some shots at the link below. I would really like to hear any
opinions from other collectors and dealers out there. This may just turn out to
be the best eBay meteorite deal ever!
Thanks,
|
