[meteorite-list] Modern Burnishing

2020-08-13 Thread Paul Gessler via Meteorite-list

Want everyone's opinion / on this highly unusual morphology.
I don't doubt it is a real meteorite at all just that one side looks altered 
or is HUGELY UNIQUE
Christies is currently selling it and gives a cryptic explanation for its 
shape as "Modern burnishing"

What the hell does that mean exactly?
they also mention it could be naturally ventifacted.???

Either way I have never seen anything quite like it in the meteorite world.

Anyone else have an explanation ... please chime in on this.
