[meteorite-list] Martian Nakhlite

[Gary K. Foote]

Hi List,

I just received a small vial of Martian Nakhlite from Jim Strope today.  To the naked eye 
it is unassuming [only .010 grams], but in closeup it is much more impressive.  My 
closeup is not the best and I will improve my setup tomorrow for a better shot, but check 
out the orthopyroxenes!  VERY clear - even in this slightly blurry shot.

Here's the page with a link to the closeup;

Thanks Jim.  A great pleasure to have my first planetary specimen in my collection!
