Melanie and all,
Don't know who you bought your Allende from but.....I don't know how to
say this, but I have sold off some Allende recently. Had some sitting
on the counter where I make my margaritas and there is a possibility
that I got some lime on some specimens by accident. I usually keep them
away from the food prep area but this one time was the exception. It
may be that is what you smell, I am sorry to say. All my best!

Quoting Melanie Matthews <[email protected]>:
Interesting indeed! I like smelling fresh pieces of meteorites in the morning
and getting high off the aromas! (j/k though whenever I get my hands on
particularly an unweathered meteorite, I have to take some sniffs of it)
Imagine having a sizable broken chunk of Allende (smells something like lime
(the fruit) IMO), Murchison or NWA 096 (bubble gum chondrite) in your room?
Could make for an nice air freshener!
