[meteorite-list] the hambledon pallasite

[Dave Harris]

Not mine - Rob Elliott's - it's on loan for a show, but yep - that xl took a
lot of looking at too - personally I think it is terrestrial.  Under the 
scope the xl is embedded in the loose, almost Caliche type weathering on the
very crust - it would need XRDing to check it out but I think it is a pyrite
xl -silvery and not, as far as we can tell transparent/transclucent 
It is far out - what a slice of heaven I tell you!

WOW Dave! that seems to be a complete euhedral crystal
Is that a spinel, magnetite, chromite?  Regardless
perfect crystal growth like this in a meteorite is
ultrarare.
 
Is this one of the pyroxene bearing pallasites?
 
Inquiring minds.
 
Really interesting piece, Congratulations.
