No, such strings are as old as the mountains - it's always the same tkw-,
number-salad-, pairing issue.
The old crux of all NWA-material, of which really each collector should be
aware.
And if a collector or a seller can't cope with that situation, he should
switch to the names
Wow Jeff thanks for the time it took to make these available. COOL!

IMHO much more - if you bought nwa 725 as an acapulcoite you won the lottery
as there is much less winonaite avalible to the collecting public - than
there is acapulcoite - and this is doubly true for fresh winonaite material

Gary, it is nothing but lighting issues, it is nearly impossible to
photograph polished iron and get the crystals in at the same time, so the
iron must be in shadow, or it is to bright.

I thought you were referring to the color of the olivine crystals, but the
crystals in this photo are the typical red/orange color you'd expect for any
pallasite. The blue color is being reflected by the polished
I suspect the finish level (ie polishing grit size) may cause some
wavelengths of light to be reflected better than others. Perhaps the
blue area wavelengths are reflected more more than other colors. Maybe
a really coarse finish might cause it to look more green or even red?
Just a guess.
