[meteorite-list] Moss, polished piece photos

[Greg Hupe]

Sounds cool. Looking forward to the results, even if just preliminary. You 
are right when you stated that when looking at something so fresh that it is 
difficult sometimes. I haven't seen this in person or under a scope, and we 
all know that it is hard to impossible to say from photos.

Good luck with it.

Best regards,
Greg
