Not mine - Rob Elliott's - it's on loan for a show, but yep - that xl took a lot of looking at too - personally I think it is terrestrial. Under the scope the xl is embedded in the loose, almost Caliche type weathering on the very crust - it would need XRDing to check it out but I think it is a pyrite xl -silvery and not, as far as we can tell transparent/transclucent It is far out - what a slice of heaven I tell you! -------Original Message------- From: Mr EMan Date: 02/08/07 13:29:12 To: Dave Harris; metlist Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] the hambledon pallasite WOW Dave! that seems to be a complete euhedral crystal Is that a spinel, magnetite, chromite? Regardless perfect crystal growth like this in a meteorite is ultrarare. Is this one of the pyroxene bearing pallasites? Inquiring minds. Really interesting piece, Congratulations.
