Re: [meteorite-list] ORANGE fresh Chelyabinsk (was: Two special Chelyabinsk individualswith Brown Lee-side Crust - color-oriented!)
I will take a SWAG (Scientific Wild Ass Guess) at the color differential. I know when I was having a glass blower prepare NWA 482 pendants that some of the material would turn red. He was exposing material to the oxidizing part of the flame and not the reducing part. We corrected the problem after analyzing the situation. When a meteoroid enters the atmosphere, the plasma might be more oxidizing on the trailing edge.

[meteorite-list] ORANGE fresh Chelyabinsk (was: Two special Chelyabinsk individualswith Brown Lee-side Crust - color-oriented!)
Hi Steve, Fred, all... Marvelous! Now we saw examples of Bensour, "Mauretania", Chelyabinsk and have from old literature Pultusk and Mocs.. ...seems that Captain Blood's "Orientata" needs a new chapter: "Color-Orientation"! (Fascinating, after such a long time spent with meteorites, we from the Meteorite House weren't aware of that phenomenon, you always can learn something new!). Though we have to have some discipline and to be cautious, not to establish a new artificial hype or to create a new fashion, multiplying the prices, as it had happened, if you remember, first with the "hammers", then with the "meteorites with holes" and again afterwards with the "irons with impact craters". At least now the Ensisheim visitor have an additional hint, what to look for, if they'll rummage the tables of the Russian colleagues, which will sag from the loads of fantastic Chelyabinsk individuals.
