Interesting indeed! I like smelling fresh pieces of meteorites in the morning and getting high off the aromas! (j/k though whenever I get my hands on particularly an unweathered meteorite, I have to take some sniffs of it)
Imagine having a sizable broken chunk of Allende (smells something like lime (the fruit) IMO), Murchison or NWA 096 (bubble gum chondrite) in your room? Could make for an nice air freshener! ----------- -Melanie IMCA: 2975 eBay: metmel2775 Known on SkyRock Cafe as SpaceCollector09 I eat, sleep and breath meteorites 24/7. ----- Original Message ---- From: Meteorites USA <e...@meteoritesusa.com> To: meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com Sent: Thu, September 9, 2010 11:32:51 PM Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Planetary Body Odors Very cool article Bob!
