[meteorite-list] More on "not the best place to hunt meteorites" thread

[Lasse Lindh]

Hi Michael

It's pretty difficult to analyze a small pebble like that. 5 mm does not 
leave much room for a slice or even to see any internal structures. The 
only thing is to grind one side and hope there is at least one nice 
chondrule.....  But still, it's a nice small one.

Have you found any confirmed meteorites with your magnets?

Regards

Lasse
