[meteorite-list] eaten meteorite

[Kevin Forbes]

Hi, that's funny.

I'm not so silly after all.

??

Well, maybe I am, but,

I ate some dust and crumbs that came from a bit Zagami some years ago, that 
I obtained from Rob Haag.

I must admit to not noticing any differnce between normal Earth rock dirt 
taste and Zagami at all.

It didn't have any Martian flavouring in it whatsoever, and I gave it a good 
suck too.

Yes I do eat dirt and rocks occasionally, I like to see what all of my 
senses have to offer, when I'm looking at minerals, crystals and so on. Try 
tasting a small sample of a mineral called pickeringite, I found some about 
50 miles from here at the end of an old gold mine drive. Slate with pyrites 
were the country rock.

Just in case you can't find any, it's like allum. From memory, I think it's 
an hydrous iron sulphate.


OOOoooooo........      <<<< My mouth when tasting pickeringite.

Cheers, Kevin, VK3UKF.
