Michael,
I believe Farmer was the first to offer pieces of the Winslow St impact
with fragments of the house siding. Knowing you collect hammer stones,
I would put it this way: the Winslow St stone is not a hammerstone like
the Garza or Jones stones. It did not directly hit the house, but

Hello Darren and List,
I was scanning some NWA 1584 slices (one of my favorite
meteorites) and I noticed some iridescent-looking blue
areas in some of the chondrules on one of them. I looked
at the areas with a 20x hand lens and the blue is really
there, ... anyone know what is causing this
Don't fret about temps. We awoke to -12F this am. Jerry Flaherty: Plymouth,
MA and 43 of fresh powder!!! Broke out the snow shoes and XC skies this
week and enjoyed what I was cussing while shoveling and blowing my way out
earlier that day!

Blue. Now that is interesting. I must say, I don't
recall ever seeing blue coloration in chondrites. I have
seen pink in Allende but this is a first for blue.
Thanks for sharing the pictures.

I have seen blue halite crystal in ZAG.

I know you are at the Tucson Show but I wanted to

Chassignite meteorite ever. I found the information on

That's an incredible discovery, one of the rarest

The spanish guy looks a little bit 'odd'. I read also
that he will organize a press conference and that he
doesn't want to give the stone to the spanish
authorities because it's the stone of God ???
Maybe we have to wait a few days for pictures or more
details.

number of witnessed falls over the past century. And what kept 04 from taking

That's why experts call it a fall.

It would have been nice had the details of that story accompanied

what he was selling.

Hi Darren and All,
I believe that what one considers a rare type goes well beyond the total
weight of any given classification. For example, prior to 1969, carbonaceous

Thomas, thank you.
It is a fine new meteorite, one of the smallest known Martian meteorites
that is not paired. This one is similar to, but not paired with NWA 2046.
I have two complete slices left here at the show, and the main mass you all
