Great article. Wouldn't it be interesting to get the opinions of a few super 
smellers employed by perfume companies and vintners.

 Hello List,

 Would like to hear from any of you that have a fragmental impact breccia in 
 your collection, and think that it is giving-off an odor.
 ( Here is a list of some Impact Melt Breccia (IMB):
 http://www.mars.li/impact%20melt%20meteorites.htm )

 Also, would the first person that finds a fresh Lunar fall, please check to 
 see if it has an odor like burnt gunpowder?

 If you read my latest Meteorite-Times article you would understand why I am 
 making these strange requests.
 My article (with more information) is here:

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 and all,

Don't know who you bought your Allende from but.I don't know how to 
say this, but I have sold off some Allende recently. Had some sitting 
on the counter where I make my margaritas and there is a possibility 
that I got some lime on some specimens by accident. I usually keep them 
away from the food prep area but this one time was the exception. It 
may be that is what you smell, I am sorry to say. All my best!

My smelly Allende fragment came from Gary Fujihara, and it does smell like 
margarita! I doubt that any of his Allendes were contaminated with such... 
unless he originally purchased them from you?

Hi,

I thought that it is Angra dos Rios that smelled like socks :). If any one
knows where I can purchase some Angra dos Rios please let me know.

Thanks,
