[meteorite-list] Mount Tazerait, Is it obtainable?

[Thetoprok at aol.com]

Tom, List,

Coincidentally, I had my  slice of Mt. Taz out and under the microscope a 
couple weeks ago and I found a  crystal in one of the vugs that was unlike ones 
I've seen in the past. I was  surprised to find it because I thought I had 
looked in every vesicle on the  specimen. Seems there is always a surprise inside 
when I break out my Taz!  
It's worth a look for sure if you are interested in these kinds of things. I  
can tell you that I've never before seen, nor would I expect to see a crystal 
 like this in a meteorite. Those interested can email me off list and I'll 
send  the image.

Regards,
Larry

Hi  List,  I recently imaged a thin section  of Mount Tazerait L5.  I  found 
it 
fell Aug 21 1991 in Niger but I haven't  seen any for sale  (since I started 
looking which was just recently).  Is  this a  hard one to find?

In the thin section was a large inclusion.    I have many cool micrographs of 
it on the March Meteorite Times issue (Open  the  magazine and click on Micro 
Visions).

This  inclusion  was different from what I am used to seeing and reminded me  
of some Earth like  volcanic structures.  I won't start tossing  descriptive 
names around  because I might be way off.

Any of you  with the time and inclination,  please share your thoughts of 
what 
this  stuff reminds you of.

And if any  one knows of Mount T for sale,  please let me know.

Thanks,  Tom  Phillips
