Hi Aziz and List,
Thanks for the question. My photos do not clearly show the piece - I
do not have my usual camera and my photography skills are lacking.
In hand, the piece strongly resembles other weathered NWA pallasites
that I have seen. It has a minor oxidation rind that one would expect
and there are some areas on the surface where olivine crystals are
showing. It is very dense compared to most unclassified stony
specimens that I receive (and like the rest in the lot) and it has a
high degree of magnetic attraction.
I would love to cut it open because I suspect there is some unoxidized
metal inside, but my saw is small and underpowered to cut irons or
iron-heavy specimens.
If the eventual buyer discovers that it is not a pallasite, then I
will fully refund their money. I am quite confident this is a
pallasite, but I cannot say for certain without having it analyzed and
it's just too small to warrant that.
I will let it go for $2/g if anyone is interested.
Best regards and Happy Huntings,
MikeG
