[meteorite-list] heavily encrusted dark grey interior -largefind?

[John.L.Cabassi]

G'Day Tom
Thanks for your reply.  I will personally accept "weird" as an official 
scientific term.  I tend to use it alot. And I agree on your very 
descriptive term of encrusted in jewels.

Your images are more than fantastic.  Keep up the great work. I can't get 
enough of it!

Cheers
John
