Well, thank you everyone for the kind words. I must say it was a thrill to
finally find my first meteorite. However, it would never have been possible
without the guidance and expertise of one of the best meteorite hunters in
the field..a wonderful inspiration to me and a great friend as
Sweet, I very nice specimen.

I'm assuming that Tomek does not mind my
forwarding his email to the List. If Norm
Lehrman says it ain't a tektite... it ain't a
tektite! I rather imagine that's who Bob
would check a tektite with. I certainly
would.
I took the reference to it from Guy Heinen's
book, which was published in 1998,
Here is a picture of a Muong Nong layered tektite from Thailand:

Hello Steve and List,
"What is a muong nong tektite ... What do
they look like and what is the composition?"
Muong Nong-type tektite characteristics:
- they are relatively large and blocky
- they are layered
- they do not display an aerodynamic shape
- they are more internally heterogeneous in

do they look like and what is the composition?

Hi, List, and Mike Gilmer who asked originally,
Yes, Mike, it is the iron.
Moldavites are high in Si02, usually close to
80%. that is, they have a higher "glass" content
and fewer "minerals." The most common other
ingredient is Al203, from 8% to 10%. Fe0 makes
up only 1% to 2%, and it is this ir
It is not an Iridium flare, although it the right time of day for it. It
appears to have an elongated tail, so it isn't an orbital reflection off
another
low orbit satellite. You might check decay predictions for the day IF you know
the location and exact time.

Hello Chris, Elton and List,
A decreasing silica content seems to correlate with a gradual
change of color from yellow over green towards brown:
LDG - almost pure silica => 98% - yellowish or pale green
Moldavites => 78-85% - (light) bottle green
Average value of 25 bediasites => 71.89-81.31 - d

I have added some items to the site that any serious collector would

a couple fractures but under bright lighting they simply disappear

Hi all,
Most folks that are or ever have been interested in the Park Forest Meteorite,
know the Garza Stone. The one that punctured the home of Phil Jones in Olympia
Fields Illinois is generally accepted as the PF main mass. There is a larger
mass that has been overlooked.
