[meteorite-list] NWA 3368 Pink Eucrite

[STARSANDSCOPES at aol.com]

Very beautiful slice Mike, thanks for  sharing!  I'm missing the pick of the 
day as well.

What a cool find  with the meteorite powder!  I think it really is  magic.

Good morning list.

Have been  missing the meteorite pic of the day (does anyone have news yet?) 
and so I  thought I would post a pic of my latest baby.

A gorgeous eucrite with a  subtle pink hue.  "A monomict eucrite breccia 
having large diogenite  clasts and extremely fine grained basaltic clasts set 
in a light matrix  having a pink hue!"

Purchased this slice from John Birdsell of  Arizona.  The slice is perfect! 
Thickness does not vary by more than  0.1mm and both surfaces are finished to 
the best polish for this  material.

Here is a pic:

My  other "pic of the day" is from a small box of "quack" medicine I  
purchased.  From 1910 this box is unopened and contains a vial of  "meteorite 
electric powder".  A little bit of ephemera showing how 100  years ago 
meteorites were already considered magic.

Cheers!
