Phil, List, I put a couple slides of this material under the 'scope and found only very small bits of metal in the blue lithology - and then, only in brownish areas of it. (Yeah, but the slice is from a distinctly blue sample.) The brown lithology had small, but naked eye size blebs of metal. It sounds like brown, metal and magnetic are closely related. And that the blue lithology started out with very little metal.
I just added three pictures to the bottom of this page: http://johnkashuba.com/Pages/Meteorite%20Pages/Pictures/NWA2965EL3.htm# Regards, - John John Kashuba Ontario, California -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Phil Morgan Sent: Tuesday, January 08, 2008 5:17 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] RFS Picture of the Day Jan. 8 / weirdproperties of NWA ... I find it interesting that the blue material is usually mentioned as being less weathered but I've never seen any with visible metal but I have found shiny iron flecks in the brown material. My small blue stone was encased in more of a "rind" than any of my brown stones if that fact is interesting at all. Anybody have the blue material with visible metal?
