Re: [meteorite-list] Dhofar 1575 Ureilite [Update]!! - AD
Hi Greg all, I'm a little surprised to see any of these slices still available. I jumped on Greg's offer several weeks ago when he first offered them and I must say that I was not disappointed! It's a gorgeous meteorite and they are quite highly polished slices with great surface to weight ratios. I haven't seen many Ureilites offered over the years at such large, thin slices and at a reasonable price too. If nothing else the pics are worth a look.

Re: [meteorite-list] Dhofar 1575 Ureilite [Update]!! - AD
Hi Jeff and All, As Jeff mentioned, these the slices of Dhofar 1575 are HIGHLY polished and it was very difficult to capture a proper image of them. The slices look MUCH better in person than what my photos show. I had a few other private emails from happy purchasers who mention how much nicer their slices are in hand. Hope everyone has a great weekend!
