[meteorite-list] sacramento wash 005

[Rob Matson]

Steve, I assume you know that "Sacramento Wash 005" is NOT an
iron meteorite.  It is H-metal; that is, it is iron spalled
from an H-chondrite.  The only mystery is ~which~ H-chondrite
from Franconia.  --Rob

Hi again list.Like the guys said,it sure is quiet.I
just got my 14.4 gram individual of sacramento wash
005.This is formerly the franconia irons.Boy these
guys get more inpressive when they are bigger to look
at.Metal just sticking out everywhere.I do not know
what the TKW is,but there are very few big ones.Most
are of the 2 gram and less range.If you do not have
any,you should get some.These little guys are hard to
get.I am always looking for more.40 grams of
individuals now in the ol' collection.
