[meteorite-list] Lovina Iron

[Jim Strope]

Listees......

There was a lot of discussion at the Tucson show about the Lovina Iron Meteorite found in Indonesia in 1981.  It was first determined to be a meteorite, a very unusual meteorite in appearance.  Then news came out that it was possibly not a meteorite.  Anyway, the partslices looked so cool that I got one off of Darryl Pitt in Tucson.  I knew full well that the jury was still out.

Well, just received news this morning from Darryl that it is now back to being a meteorite.

Check out the photo of Lovina before cutting:

I bet everybody that got a piece of this will be really stoked.  Congrats Darryl.
