I got the BL Meteorite 3 or 4 years ago and no more seems to have turned up and no other dealer seems to have had any either. Of course you never know for sure with NWAs but it appears that I may have had it all. I may have a couple pieces in storage in Canada with my mother, brother or friend but I think that I only have two slices left. These I sent to blaine reed before I left canada (Who had them on display in denver last year) and I got them back for the munich show shortly afterwards (Where they were also on display). I had I think eight pieces in munich. I just put sandpaper to one side of each of these two slices and it is unusually soft and powdery for an LL. Certainly one of the nicest and most interesting chondrites you will find. See the photos of both sides of my last two slices here: http://www.meteoriteshop.com/metsale/bl.html Cheers DEAN http://www.meteoriteshop.com (PS:I would sell these for $1.90 a gram if anybody is interested. Probably worth a lot more)
Each slice has crust on one end. --- tett <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello list, > > I have been having fun with my BL meteorites and > just aquired a nice ~100 > gram slice. > > There was much discussion about this LL5 meteorite a > while ago because of > its gorgeous crust.
