[meteorite-list] Elbert meteorite, Lavrentievka meteorite and NWA 4302 Diogenite

[Christian Anger]

Hi all,

regarding the Elbert meteorite :

Thanks to Matt Morgan for making it available to get me

a crusted partslice of my birthday meteorite.

Elbert fell on January 11, 1998

I gave it a high polish and here are the pics:

5 and a half years ago Sergey Vassiliev in cooperation with Martin Horejsi

made it possible to get me a 40 mg fragment 

of my other birthday meteorite Lavrentievka, which fell on January 11, 1938

Now I own a sample of every meteorite that fell on January 11th.

Both are only a single stone fall with very low TKW


and finally I want to show you an endcut of the NWA 4302 Diogenite

that I recently got from Greg Hupe. I also gave this stone a high polish and 

here's the result: 

Looking like the great Johnstown Diogenite with 

great clear and shiny green olivine crystals.

Christian
