Dear fellow collectors,

might want to consider to take a look at my bullet shaped Camel

Hi All,
Can someone explain this...
Is it as simple as two Gibeons colliding in space? Or
is there some other explanation?
This is the 1st cut on a larger Gibeon meteorite. It
is common practice for me to etch the 1st piece
immediately after it is cut. I do this without any
sanding or polishing.
Hi RubenI think that it may reflect the progression of cooling from
different regions which resulted in different crystaline patterns
intersecting. I'm sure someone on the list will have a good explanation.
We had one with three distinct patterns which was pretty cool too! Check
it out:
Hi Ruben,
Has anyone else ever seen ( outside of a museum)
something like this?
yes.
In Buehlers book, p.120, is a 50cm Gibeon slice, composed from 9 taenite
crytals, all with different orientation of the Thompson (how politically
corret I am today) structure (i.e. Widmannstaetter Pattern).
Hi All,
I can't wait to prepare this one correctly ( sand,
polish and then re-etch)instead of the crude job I
hurried through today. Also I hope this unique pattern
goes all the way through. I'll have some really cool
full slices !!
