Hello List, Well, yesterday MexicoDoug announced the 54th anniversary of the Monze L6 chondrite. As it happens, I received a beautiful 2.31-gram slice of Monze a few days ago from Michael Cottingham. It has crisp, fresh, black fusion crust on two edges and contains an interesting but weird-looking dark clast which may be due to shock-darkening.
He also had a sizeable chunk of Monze on EBay but this one is gone. Congratulations to the lucky (and surely happy) buyer ! Monze is a beautiful FeNi-rich meteorite and specimens are available for example from Anne Black or also from Eric Twelker. Especially Eric Twelker's #MON493-2 specimen will surely make your mouth water: Anne Black's specimen can be viewed at: http://www.impactika.com/ Go to birthday meteorites for Oct 05 - there you'll see a 53.24-gram slice. Eric's specimens are here: http://www.meteoritemarket.com/MON.htm Happy viewing!
