Mike noted, "By the way, the crystals are confirmed to be Chromium Diposide, found in only 4 meteorites in the world!" That is a cool looking meteorite. I was wondering on the chromium aspect. I know some of you are better geology people then me, but wouldn't that be an emerald?

An emerald is a beryl with only traces of chromium, usually formed in coarse granites. (and my favorite gem!) Anne M. Black www.IMPACTIKA.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] President, I.M.C.A.
