[meteorite-list] Copper found in meteorite

[Greg Catterton]

This was just a nice looking 165g NWA stone I decided to cut open.
I found it had some really nice inclusions and offered it for testing.
I have been posting updates as testing has been progressing.

I actually have 2 complete slices of this material currently listed on ebay (not trying to really do an AD) but you can find it here:
http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZwanderingstarmeteoritesQQhtZ-1
The 2 slices are listed as "NWA Meteorite LL complete slice" and is about all I have left other then the main mass and a slice not listed on ebay.
I have seen it reported in Franconia, but have not been able to find much else reported about it.  

I would love to hear more on Copper in meteorites, if anyone else has samples, lets see some pics!
