Greg - are you reffering to the darker of the 'blue' lithology or the darker of the material period? The last i hurd the dark - ie brown material is less weathered - it still has the oxide veining intact. the 'blue' material has had all of the metal (oxides) leached out through repetitive wetting via salt water. there seems to be a continuum of 'blue' lithology material ranging from very light in color almost off white to a dingy brownish blue. some of the more weathered stones have a rind of black material on the outside that represents all of the metals that have been elached out. _________________________________________________________________ Stay up-to-date with your friends through the Windows Live Spaces friends list. http://clk.atdmt.com/MSN/go/msnnkwsp0070000001msn/direct/01/?href=http://spaces.live.com/spacesapi.aspx?wx_action=create&wx_url=/friends.aspx&mk ______________________________________________ Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
