Amazing shots Mike,

The fusion crust looks more like the glazes on the contemporary ceramics I make and collect...they are like works of art delivered from space and fired on the way down!

Believe it or not I spent this afternoon looking at the new Richard Attenborough collection of Picasso ceramics and then at the National Space Centre in Leicester and took a close look at the large Barwell chunk they have on display...whilst there I remarked that it was the only other meteorite I had seen with fusion crust showing runs and glassy spikes sticking out apart from the La Mancha pieces on show at Ensisheim.(and now yours show up this evening!) I had never seen this piece of Barwell before and it had remarkable fresh flowing fusion crust, not quite a shiney as La Mancha, but then its only an L5/6.

Its great that you have all managed to save more of this wonderful material...congratulations.

Thanks Mirko, and a huge thanks to you and Thomas, for
doing the initial work to find the strewnfield.
Another amazing meteorite is saved due to meteorite
hunters.

It was lots of fun, and I expect to add more photos
later in the week after a little three day trip I take
tomorrow.

This is a quick and dirt page I just built, I do
not
have time right now to build a better one, but
this
is
pretty good. Enjoy looking at what I think is the
most
beautiful meteorite to have fallen in many many
years!
