Hello Graham and Count and the rest of the Listers By chance with any of the people on here with multiple samples do you have photos of them grouped together to compare the bunch. Also, I think someone said Mike Farmer had posted an image/s of the them grouped together, is there a link, cause I missed that posting.
Count/ when you tested the chelyabinsk fragments with a magnet, were they all consistent on how they stuck to and pulled from the neo magnet for the most part? I also have a question for the List about the magnet test. I have a small rare earth magnets which they are strong, but not super super strong. My question is, with some of the historic meteorites I have, can over time, the strength at which a LL or L or even a H meteorite increase over time, due to oxidation and or rusting? Why I ask is because is because I have two meteorite samples that fell in 1803 and both are from France, but two different falls and are both L6. One sample is is less magnetic than the other. The one that is stronger has about the same attraction and pull to a H7 Forest City meteorite. All three meteorites come from top dealers and collectors, so I know the authenticity is genuine, but it seems some stones can have anomalys within, when tested with magnets. Has any other listers noticed this, and if so, why would this happen? I have also heard that some dealer has devised a full proof test to test stoney meteorites to see if they are LL L or H or HH, or did I just make up HH :) Shawn Alan IMCA 1633 ebay store http://www.ebay.com/sch/imca1633ny/m.html http://meteoritefalls.com/ ----- Original Message ----- From: Graham Ensor <graham.en...@gmail.com> To: Count Deiro <countde...@earthlink.net> Cc: Peter Scherff <petersche...@rcn.com>; meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com Sent: Saturday, March 16, 2013 6:24 PM Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Chelyabinsk meteorite Hi Count....strange that yours do not have any of the brown crust or other surface features common in most from the fall that were picked up within days.
