Very beautiful slice Mike, thanks for sharing! I'm missing the pick of the day as well.
What a cool find with the meteorite powder! I think it really is magic. Tom In a message dated 11/15/2008 7:16:17 A.M. Mountain Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Good morning list. Have been missing the meteorite pic of the day (does anyone have news yet?) and so I thought I would post a pic of my latest baby. A gorgeous eucrite with a subtle pink hue. "A monomict eucrite breccia having large diogenite clasts and extremely fine grained basaltic clasts set in a light matrix having a pink hue!" Purchased this slice from John Birdsell of Arizona. The slice is perfect! Thickness does not vary by more than 0.1mm and both surfaces are finished to the best polish for this material. Here is a pic: http://ca.geocities.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/metpics/NWA3368_34.8g_a.jpg My other "pic of the day" is from a small box of "quack" medicine I purchased. From 1910 this box is unopened and contains a vial of "meteorite electric powder". A little bit of ephemera showing how 100 years ago meteorites were already considered magic.
