Lars,
Putting meteorites into acrylic blocks, doesn't seem to stop them rusting,
there will always be residual moisture and salts in the matrix, you need to
chemically treat it to have any chance of halting the corrosion. I put a slab
of H Chondrite into resin several years ago and it
Really interesting CAI!
Does anyone know if it is possible to dissolve away the matrix of a CV
and leave the CAI?
I know at the BNHM Sara Russel had a vial of diamonds from Allende.

I'm looking for some help with information about the Gold Basin Strewn Field. We will be visiting from the UK at Easter and want to try and have a look at this site for meteorites. We are amateur geologists but not bona fide meteorite hunters - which may help us a little with any

Hello Michael,
Thanks for your concern. I somehow got a little sick (again) and was out of
it for the most part all Saturday. I don't know what it is with Tucson but
something there doesn't agree with me. At least this year it was only for
about 30 hours rather then 3 days, and I was there an
Hello all again,
I could have also noted...
Congratulations on your well earned Harvey Award Michael. Your efforts in

This rock is sort of interesting. 20% discount if any
specimens are of interest. The whole rock only weighed
302 grams to start with and I havent seen any other
similar looking ones so it might not be available for
long. I think that my price is a lot less than what
most other dealers would offer
The Gold Basin strewn field is a vast area that is checker boarded with BLM
and private land. Some of these boundaries are marked, but most are not
and it's almost impossible to know if you are on private land or not.

If CAI's are the oldest things out there then how does chondritic
material get completely encapsulated inside of one?

a cone or other shape where if cut along the right plane, it would
appear as if the CAI was completely surrounding the chondrules, but
