[meteorite-list] Question about high magnetic pull with no visiblemetal?

[STARSANDSCOPES at aol.com]

Hi Phil,  My estimate would be W2.   Weathered but not enough to remove 
bright iron, which I can still find in highly  weathered material.  The slice is 
polished to 1/4 micron and even at 650X  still no iron.  Lots of black oxides 
though.

Thanks,   Tom



"Don't know if this is related or not, but I was wondering  what impact 
weathering would have on magnetic susceptibility.

Tom,  how weathered would you guess the stone in question is?

Phil"
