[meteorite-list] The most beautifull fresh and oriontedpallasiteever seen

[Michael Farmer]

I understand, but you sent it, and I replied to it.
There is like .0001 % chance of that iron being pallasite. He shows one 
inclusion that could be a crystal, but looks like a  white or yellow crusty 
thing, not a pallasite crystal.

On orientation, too many people try to pawn everything off as oriented. 
Different regmaglypts, flat surface, or different crust do not make 
orientaion. SHAPE does. Is there a nose? Are there flow lines from front to 
back? Is there a rollover rim?
Habibi's has none of those things, just a very nice shape and nice deep 
regmaglypts, nice iron, not the slightest hint of orientation though.

These are oriented, not the nose, flow lines going from the front to back, 
rollover lipping, concave backside.
That is oriented.
