From a collector's point of view could I suggest that readers of the
Metlist check their Ebay listings for Katol and revise them as necessary?
Currently all listings still seem to refer to it as probably a rare
ungrouped achondrite (or similar description) but that is no longer
true - unless
Katol is a prime example of why people should avoid self-pairings and
hand-classifications. One (or a dozen) hand samples may not tell the
whole story, and even experienced eyes can be fooled.
For all appearances, Katol may have looked like an OC, an achondrite,
an iron, a stony-iron, or a slag.
