Dear List, After going through our last batch of completely crusted Amgala chondrite specimens we came across this achondrite. I guess it pays to use a magnet and a microscope to look at each and every specimen. After a magnet was not the least bit attracted to this stone we examined it under a microscope and saw a thin translucent caramel colored crust with contraction cracks. We ground a small edge and were shocked by what we saw next. It looks almost like NWA 482 but brighter with what appears to be a pure white anorthosite matrix. This possible lunar is absolutely gorgeous and fresh! Now we know what Robert Haag must of felt like when he ground a corner off of Calcalong Creek. It will now be a game of hurry up and wait for lab results.
To see what we are so excited about, check out the links below: http://www.lunarrock.com/MysteryStone/mystery1.jpg http://www.lunarrock.com/MysteryStone/mystery2.jpg Do not forget we still have a few slices of the Amgala chondrite running on ebay as over half have been sold with buy-it-now. All the best, Adam and Greg Hupe The Hupe Collection Team LunarRock IMCA 2185 ______________________________________________ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
