Dearest List Members,
I took my wife to NYC for her 40th birthday. I figured we could catch
a show and check out some meteorites
The museum of natural history in central park west has a redonkulous
meteorite exhibit.
I posted pics of it on my site here:
I've noticed that some tatahouines appear to have small regions of red that
remind me of ruby inclusions.. Anyone know what they are or what they could be?
Has ruby corundum ever been found in meteorites?
Regards

Melanie, list,
I wondered about those red spots too after I received and examined my piece
of the Tatahouine meteorite a few weeks ago. (Thanks Doug)
An answer for it I found here

Hi Melanie,
It's hard to say without seeing a pic of the inclusions but one of my
fragments does have 'red inclusions'. It is small specks of oxidised iron.

Hi Melanie, Werner, Jeff, Bernd and List,
This is yet another reason why cleaning/polishing Tatahouine meteorites
can be shortsighted due to all the exquisite and fragile features it
packs, invisible to the untrained eye.
Plenty of uncleaned Tatahouine specimens still have the Jurassic age
