[meteorite-list] stinky meteorite

[Laurence Garvie]

A while back I was dry cutting (slowly with a thin low-density diamond  
blade) a piece of Indarch, which produced a rather disagreeable odour.  
I put the smell down to the reaction of the finely powdered air- 
sensitive minerals such as oldhamite and niningerite with the moisture  
in the air.
