[meteorite-list] pics: orientated stones

[j.divelbiss at att.net]

Stan,

thanx for sharing pictures of those awesome oriented meteorites.  they are remarkable in their own way.  your purchasing of the last two is fortunate indeed. oriented lunar gabbros, and 6 kilo oriented urelites are very rare, to say the least. I hope you are able to get them numbered and classified by a lab. 

congratulations!!!!!

JD
