Dear List Members,
Finds from the Sahara Desert continue to decline sharply, maybe representing
1/10th of peak. Like any market, the lack of new supply will surely drive up
prices. Large stockpiles are now nearly exhausted and meteorites are not a
readily renewable resource or a commodity.
This is funny,
Reminds me when we would put Tadpoles in the payload section of the Estes
rockets back in the '70s... we were kids then.
I really like the On-orbit Advertising idea.

Aloha,
In a suspected lodranite recently procured from Morocco, I noticed a
peculiar large, iridescent crystal in the broken face of the
meteorite. I contacted some people on the metlist about this feature
to get their thoughts, and Bernd Pauli has opined that the crystal is
euhedral,
Good eye Gary. :)
This is a perfect of example of how UNWA material can benefit the
collector (to learn more about meteoritics). Also, material such as
this may present something interesting and new to science. Who knows
what discoveries await hidden away inside UNWA stones.
Keep us posted on
Gary:
That is an amazing specimen. My first thought would be a plagioclase, but I
noticed in the video that at one angle it looked greenish; perhaps some kind of
orthopyroxene that is exhibiting iridescence.
Please let us know when you get the test results.

What really strikes me about this possible lodranite is how closely it
resembles a H6 or H7 chondrite. I've had a couple of UNWA stones that
look alot like this lodranite, but I never paid them much mind because
they didn't obviously look interesting - like some achondrites do or a
type loaded
To me the form of the crystal looks like typical plagioglace feldspar,
(labradorite), (anorthosite + albite),
/N//a/(/A//l//S//i/3/O/8)/C//a/(/A/12/S//i/208).
You can find some pics of the crystals of finnish iridecent labradorite
(Spectrolite) from;
Dear Pekka and List,
Your 2 cents worth makes one wonder what ten cents worth would have brought to
the eyes! What an extraordinary group of specimens! The variety and beauty of
the crystals is so overwhelming that I, for one, will try to collect as much of
this material as I can afford..
Spectrolite is quite beautiful. :)
I've always wanted to put some in my rock tumbler.
Best regards,

Ah yes, I have many fond memories from the '60s and '70s launching Estes
rockets! We launched with payloads of frogs and grasshoppers. The frogs
seemed to fare much better though after recovery...
