[meteorite-list] RE: Lodranites in stony-iron ??? - Steinbach pictures

[tett]

My guess is a private collection and the number is not a catalogue number 
but its weight.  4.1 grams.

Cheers,

tett

Bernd quoted:

MASON B. (1962) Meteorites, p. 125:

"The single siderophyre is the Steinbach meteorite (also known as
Breitenbach or Rittersgrün), which has been known since 1724. It consists of
a network of nickel-iron which encloses granular aggregates of orhopyroxene
and minor tridymite, the nickel-iron and silicate being present in
approximately equal. <snip>"

Hi Bernd, Pierre, and All,

For those of you who prefer something visual, here are some photos of a 4.1g
Steinbach slice that resides in my collection since some years now:

The last picture shows a collection number painted on one edge of the
specimen. Does anyone of you know of similar numbers? Any idea as to the
original collection? The number is ST0041, the "ST" possibly standing for
Steinbach? Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

All the best,
Norbert
