[meteorite-list] Angrite NWA 4590 auctions have ended now, ...
.. and I am glad I did not jump on the lower opening price so that the piece that was my perfect size has not been lost to another bidder! I received mine (1.024 grams) today. It sports patches of shiny, glossy fusion crust today and it is a pleasure to hold and a feast for the eyes to behold! Will have to wait for the weekend before I find some time to read the Lunar and Planetary abstract on NWA 4590 and look at this little gem under my stereo microscope. Wish I had a thin section of this gorgeous plutonic angrite. The mottled appearance of the NWA 4590 crystals in cross-polarized light resembles that of the NWA 3151 brachinite but the crystals are substantially larger in this *plutonic* angrite and there is much more plagioclase (almost pure anorthite): http://www.lunarrock.com/nwa4590/nwa4590xpl.jpg Best wishes, Angritically, Bernd __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

Best wishes, Angritically, Bernd __ Glad to hear that you like it, Bernd. Would you like me to reserve a Thin-Section for you? Obviously it will take a while, but I am getting them made by our favorite expert. Anyone else? Anne M. Black www.IMPACTIKA.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] President, I.M.C.A.
