Hello List, When I came home from school today, I was pleased to see my 0.894-gram basaltic shergottite NWA 4925 from Chladni's Heirs had arrived. What a gorgeous, crystalline beauty from our "orange" neighbor. Have you ever heard about those weird, orange inclusions in the ALH 84001 pyroxenite? NWA has a similar feature: large, orange blebs that are up to 1.5 millimeter in diameter set in a conspicuous crystalline matrix of pyroxene and maskelynite.
If you should think it is similar to DaG 476, you are wrong. The latter is much finer-grained, less crystalline and more like a gun-metal gray, terrestrial basalt. NWA 4925 is beautiful beyond compare!!! http://www.chladnis-heirs.com/special-nwa4925.html Cheers, Bernd ______________________________________________ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
