[meteorite-list] NWA 2140 smells like gum?

[Sterling K. Webb]

Hi,

    Bob Haag reported that one fresh Murchison
kept in a mason jar from immediately after the fall
smelled very strongly and aromatically like fresh
bubble gum! (This was, I believe, only a week
or two after the fall.)

I received two slices of this CV3 meteorite and noticed they smell like
fruity gum. It's very weak but definitely noticeable. Yes.I smell all my
meteorites when I get them.it can't be that strange of a ritual. Anyone else
out there with NWA 2140 notice this? Or did my dealer happen to be wearing
his wife's Bath 'N Body Works hand lotion when he packed my slices.

I remember some other C meteorite having similar scent, no?

Kind regards,

Mike Bandli
