The 56g Korra slice that Dave Harris and I were looking at, is actually
quite fresh, there is plenty of clean metal (thought I'd expect more in
an H) and some nice clean breccia inclusions,!
There are a number of very distinct chondrules, but most of them appear
to be indistinct! - not

Here is a pic of my complete slice of KK. I bought a couple KG's from Ronnie
Mackenzie back in 2000 or 2001. As you can see it is a killer. Notice the
brecciation.

Well, we looked at it, compared it to other H3s, also to the Ghubara, and we
found it difficult to see how this is an H3.

I think it also depends on which TYPE of Korra you have. I have one
that was found early on and is LOADED with gorgeous chondrules and
breccia fragments. Later editions of KK were very weathered and thus
did not exhibit the well defined chondrules. Also, some of the pieces
were
There are a couple of things you might not know about Korra
Korrabes. First, there are two different grades of it that were
collected. The very weathered specimens are missing much of the iron due
to weathering. Fresher and better preserved specimens have less weathering
and fracturing and
Oxidation and overall weathering/life on earth kind of thing I would suspect
makes this meteorite hard to inspect for evidence. A fresh cut face would be
the best you could do in a hand sample...or obviously looking at a thin
section would be ideal way to see chondrules(shape and numbers) in
H's are usually darker than L's...Ghubara is unusally black when
cut/polished, for an L5 (it is a black L with xenoliths)...not normal for
L's.
Also Parnallee is not a H3...it is a LL3.6...which are lighter in color than
H's.

Hi Rafael and list,
Korra Korrabes was found by Gibeon hunters in the southern reaches of
the Gibeon strewnfield (remember, that's a very large strewnfield!).
They picked it up because it set off the metal detectors but was figured
by them to just be iron shale from a Gibeon. Eventually it was
Hello List, Im writing cuz I was looking at my collection the othe day,
and I have a slice of Korra Korrabes, from Africa and I dont knoiw why but I
like it a lot, I can see its an H3, but I cant see that much chondrules, and
it has a lot of holes or bubbles...does anyone know what are
It's not in the same place in Namibia, it came from further South I
believe. Haven't been there for a while.
My piece looks like the crust has dried and cracked. Almost like mud
dries on the outside. I haven't sliced it though. But this is the only
one I have seen like this.
