[meteorite-list] Nickel found in hematite and magnetite?

In a specimen that may be a hematite, a strong presence of nickel was found. Is that possible? While the specimen is very attractive to magnets, tests positive for nickel, and looks and weighs like iron, it has many pock marks and some white inclusions that may be quartz. Anyone come across

[meteorite-list] Diving rods

Hi, all: I have entertained children, adults, and skeptics for years with the crossing clothes hangers, but never once have I had the wires bend down of their own accord toward a spot on the ground. They will cross and uncross frequently as I walk along of their own accord, and they do so

[meteorite-list] Stay home from show if you do not have any money?

Hi, Gary: Unless your comment I am guessing that if you can't afford to travel to Tucson then you probably don't have much money to spend at the show. May as well stay home and leave the shows to the buyers with money to spend. was intended as a sarcastic jab at plutocrats or others, it

[meteorite-list] Levels of magnetic attraction in H5 and L4 meteorites

Hi, Listees: Puzzle me this, please. L4 chondrites have little iron and little magnetic attraction as compared to an H5, so how does their weight to size compare? That is, is a 100 gram of H5 half the size of a 100 gram of L4 (or some other relationship)? As there is little iron in a L4, what
