[meteorite-list] Ad New Silicated IIIC (prov.) ending on ebay

[Arizona Skies Meteorites]

Hi Matteo. Yes, it appears to be stable. Comparing
this to nantan is somewhat like comparing apples to
oranges. Nantan has a nickel content of only 6.88% and
is a member of the IAB main group. This silicated iron
has a nickel content of 13.8% and appears to be a
member of the IAB LM subgroup which corresponds to the
old IIIC group. It is noteworthy that its Cu and Sb
concentrations are higher than those in any current
member of this IAB subgroup. Also, irons which are
found in moist environments tend to be less stable
than irons found in dry environments. Somone may
correct me, but I believe Nantan is from a relatively
moist environment while NWA 2680 is a desert iron.

The elmental composition of NWA 2680 is:

: Cr 96 µg/g, Co 5.4 mg/g, Ni 138 mg/g, Cu 560 µg/g,
Ga 26 µg/g, As 21 µg/g, Sb 890 ng/g, W 0.33 µg/g, Ir
2.1 µg/g, Au 1.77µg/g. 



Cheers



-John
