the whole
specimen. I'm proud to have added this fine Northbranch to my collection;

Rob,
These two look so similar and pristine that I would say they are from the
same expedition and have been handled in much the same manner over the
years. I've not seen such 'ashy grey' Sikhotes before. The rusted
pictures I found to be 'ugly' [just my personal taste] and the shinier
example
with a several-mm-thick rind of
shale and a good amount of caliche.
Blaine Reed had/has the main mass, and it was HUGE...
Best,
Matt

Collection. It displays some unbelievable veins
Thank you Bernd,
I have not seen shock veins fill with metal before and don't know if such is a
possibility. There are many other, finer threads of metal showing also in this
specimen.
More shock veins do you think? What mechanism would/could cause such an
effect?
Best,
Gary

of the veins match the 'shine' of the FeNi flecks, so I am making the

are of the same minerology. I know - when I

I see that now. Looking very closely it seems as though the central length
of the vein
is shinier than that at the ends. Perhaps less oxidation there? It doesn't
seem to show
