Hi Andi,
Thank you for sharing the excellent photos. From the Pic-o-Day photo it
looked like it had a black fusion crust, but after viewing the uncut mass
photo, it looks like it must have been shadows in the slice picture. It does
appear to have a thick crust in some areas, is this the case?
Congrats again, Andi, for your fantastic meteorite! I had not seen this
material until today with Michael Johnson's RFSPOD post, otherwise I would
have inquired about what was available. Now I see there is nothing available
:-/ If a nice slice or end cut is made available, please let me know!
Best regards,
Greg

Hi List,
thanks a lot for all the kind words about the finally classified ungrouped
iron meteorite.
The Meteorite was purchased in 2005 at the Munich mineral fair, the TKW is
726g.
Here are the test results:
: Bulk Composition: INAA data (J. Duke, UAb): Ni = 11.54 ± 0.03 wt%, Co =
0.509 ± 0.003 wt%, Ga = 35.8 ± 0.4 μg/g, Ge = 28 ± 4 μg/g, Ir = 0.196 ±
0.008 μg/g, Au = 1.04 ± 0.02 μg/g, As = 13.0 ± 0.2 μg/g, Cu = 307 ± 23
μg/g, Cr = 32 ± 5 μg/g (uncertainties 1, 68% confidence level), W ≤ 0.27
μg/g, Re ≤ 0.05 μg/g. Although Ni, Ga and Ge concentrations are similar
to the IAB-sLM/sLH group, the Au concentration is well below the minimum
1.3 ug/g required to consider it part of the IAB complex.
I don't really know if I'm already allowed to public this details, but I
hope it will be fine
The picture from RFSPOD shows no meteoritic structure but the light angle
gives the best sight to the Graphite inclusions
I will show some more pictures, please feel free to take a look if
interested:

This is no AD, I'm sold out.
Thanks to Chris Herd for classification.
Thanks to the Hupe Brothers for the hint where to classify.
Best greetings

Hello Bernd, and other happy owners of NWA 5804,
Congrats on your nice score, Bernd. Do you have a close-up of rosettes?
What
is the TKW of 5804? Truly a crazily-impressive meteorite!
Best regards,
Greg

Hello List,
These graphite rosettes are truly unique when you look at them close-up
and so is part of the fusion crust which looks, well, ... which looks
like
those eucrite pebbles in Vaca Muerta - unbelievable as that may sound!
Best wishes from the happy
owner of a 14.74-gr slice
of NWA 5804,
Bernd
