[meteorite-list] new goodies

[Christian Anger]

Hi list,

got my newest additions to my collection.

I think it is worth to share with you.

First I got that wonderful Howardite NWA 2379 from Greg Hupe.

You won't imagine how beautiful this one is and it has a lot of iron specks
in it. It attracts to a magnet too, like an LL chondrite.

It is the first time that I tried to mirror polish a howardite - and
the result is AWESOME !!

I left the other side raw.

for comparison see:

the second is a partslice of the awesome brecciated meteorite

Nakhon Pathom (fell today but 81 years ago - Dec. 21, 1923 Thailand)

It is also worth a look :
