[meteorite-list] The Biggest Tektite & Special Exhibit?

[Greatwallc at aol.com]

Thanks to all  on this talks. I enjoy all the info. Let me introduce an  
Indochinite in my collection: 1,042 gram, ~ 6x4x3", flow lines on all  surface, 
damage-free, boat-shape, one end heavier.
 
I put my tektite collection in a Special Exhibit case during  the Denver Gem 
& Mineral Show in 1999(?). Museums, such as the Smithsonian  and American 
Natural History, and famous collectors put up those exhibits for  education 
purpose. Would everybody be interested in bringing his/her  largest/best tektites 
for a collective tektite exhibit during the Denver and  Tucson  gem show (main 
show)? Maybe Anne Black and I can coordinate it for  Sept's Denver show.
 
It will be more fun to look at these big tektites. They are  extremely 
difficult to find. I went through perhaps 10 tons to find a piece over  1,00 gram!

Hi,

I wasn't gonna say it, but... Add me to  the
Muong-Nong Heretic List. I would guess that
the layering planes are  more or less parallel to Top
and Bottom as indicated by the cube, and  seem
most visible in the lefthand shadowed side of the
Angle 1  photo.
The horror is that the only way to be sure is  to
damage the item, I suspect.

Michael,

This may be heresy, but the broad rounded  grooves and
tiny pits look Muong-Nongy to me.  3 kilos is  a
MONSTERous departure from any splashform known.  Give
it a close  look.  Not all Muong Nongs are
conspicuously layered---

I  betting Muong  Nong.

Cheers,
Norm
