[meteorite-list] Allende smells like lime?

[Melanie Matthews]

Well, according to Gary Allende has a distinct smell to it, i asked him what he 
could compare it to - seems he wasn't sure. One of the reasons I bought it was 
to find out what it smells like.. I stuck my nose into the baglet it came in 
with the meteorite inside, and sniffed away... noticed a scent that reminds me 
of that lime flavored powder used to make drinks (margarita perhaps). 


<Actually, a petrified slice of lime looks surprisingly similar to  Allende.

Really?

Either that, or he was doing tequila shots with lime as he was  packaging 
your specimen.  LOL

Hey list. 
Yesterday I got  an nice chunk of Allende from Big Kahuna Meteorites. Is it 
me, 
or does this  meteorite have an aroma reminiscent of lime?
