I wrote in my fisrt message: a lot of rare meteorites (angrite, HED, SNC, R and CM chondrites, some LL and aubrites) are not attracted by a magnet. I can add some CV. If you have some Allende: it is not magnetic (in the sense of the magnet; with the right probe, it has a strong magnetic signal!) Prof. P.
