[meteorite-list] How to test an iron meteorite ?

[Pelé Pierre-Marie]

Hello to the List,

I have to analyze an iron (we are nearly sure it's a
meteorite) but I have to determine wether it's an
octahedrite or an hexahedrite.

Is it necessary to make first a nickel test or go
directly to the nitric acid test ?

If I've to make a nitric acid test, what is the real
process ?

Best regards and I wish a happy new year to everyone
on this List.

Pierre-Marie PELE
