[meteorite-list] What does fresh Sikhote Alin fusion crust looklike?

[Rob Lenssen]

Hi Gary,

I think making good pictures of meteorites is very difficult. Especially 
when it comes to fusion crust. I personally think there is a diffence 
between the two meteorites you refer to. The smallest one being mechanically 
cleaned and darker gray, the other one "unscratched" and lighter gray.

It would be an honnor to me to see them displayed via your website. You 
might want to use the following links (I added two more pictures of the 
smaller one):

regards,
Rob
