I have cut/polished specimens, purchased from Finland, of Polujamki and
Markovka. They fell within kilometers of each other and share all macroscopic
petrographic features except for one striking difference: Polujamki, in photos
I have found and in my specimen, seems to have, almost without exception, a
much higher frequency of >3mm pools of coalesced Fe-Ni. Is this simply an
observation made from a specific paired stone that became available recently?
Can the amount of elemental metal dissemination in the original stone have been
bimodally segregated, contributing to the differences in trajectory of
individual fragments of the stone as a result of explosive aerial
fragmentation?
