Well, according to Gary Allende has a distinct smell to it, i asked him what he could compare it to - seems he wasn't sure. One of the reasons I bought it was to find out what it smells like.. I stuck my nose into the baglet it came in with the meteorite inside, and sniffed away... noticed a scent that reminds me of that lime flavored powder used to make drinks (margarita perhaps).
<Actually, a petrified slice of lime looks surprisingly similar to Allende.

Actually, a petrified slice of lime looks surprisingly similar to Allende. Either that, or he was doing tequila shots with lime as he was packaging your specimen.
