Congratulations on the Sterley, Ruben. And thanks for posting that stunning 7034 photo! The matrix reminds me of a Hubble deep field image... without the red-shift. But with a misplaced moon. ;^) Linton

Hi all, I just returned from New Mexico where I delivered a stellar slice of our new Sterley pallasite to the University of New Mexico. Geoff and I are very happy that this rare pallasite will be prominently displayed in the UNM collection. This makes 5 institutions that have added a Sterley specimen to their collection! Once the website is updated there will be only 10 slices left - assuming Geoff and I choose to keep a slice. So, if you're wanting to add Sterley to your collection don't wait too long or you could miss out. Once it's gone, it's gone and it will be as impossible to get as any other rare (and low TKW) pallasite. http://www.aerolite.org/sterley-pallasite-meteorite.htm While visiting with Carl Agee (Director and Curator, Institute of Meteoritics Professor, Earth and Planetary Sciences) at UNM, I was lucky enough to get to examine "Black Beauty" NWA 7034 in person. To be honest, I think I would have assumed this meteorite was carbonaceous, if not told different. It's heavy, a magnet sticks to it (so I'm told) and it even has roundish chondrule looking inclusions. It was very interesting. Here's a close up photo that I took. Believe me I'll be looking at all the NWA's in Tucson in hopes of finding another. http://www.mrmeteorite.com/nwa7034.htm -- Rock On!
