[meteorite-list] What is It?

[Norm Lehrman]

Dave,

In a career working frequently with basalts, I've
never seen megascopic free metal.  I also have never
heard of the same.  Basalts are, by nature, iron rich,
but for all practical purposes, most of the iron is
present in silicate phases.  This thing isn't a
basalt.  I don't have any better ideas.  I think it
might be what the seller claims it to be----
