I understand, but you sent it, and I replied to it.
There is like .0001 % chance of that iron being pallasite. He shows one
inclusion that could be a crystal, but looks like a white or yellow crusty
thing, not a pallasite crystal.
On orientation, too many people try to pawn everything off as oriented.
Different regmaglypts, flat surface, or different crust do not make
orientaion. SHAPE does. Is there a nose? Are there flow lines from front to
back? Is there a rollover rim?
Habibi's has none of those things, just a very nice shape and nice deep
regmaglypts, nice iron, not the slightest hint of orientation though.

These are oriented, not the nose, flow lines going from the front to back,
rollover lipping, concave backside.
That is oriented.

Aziz, first, that IS NOT A PALLASITE,
Mike, list,
I only forward this email, but from photos I cant tell what it is. For
sure
Iron. There should be photos with bigger resolution than offered by Yahoo
to
see all details.
it is an iron. Second, it IS NOT ORIENTED.
I think You are wrong. It is highly regmaglypted from one side and flat,
from another. It can be oriented. Have 2 verry different crust surfaces.
It is a beautiful iron, it is not a pallasite, and it does not show the
slightest sign of flight orientation, but it does show nice regmaglypts.
