[meteorite-list] A Good Meteorwrong - Shirokovsky

[Galactic Stone & Ironworks]

Hi List,

I love a good meteorwrong, and I recently acquired a fantastic
specimen of Shirokovsky.  It is a 39g full slice with 3 translucent
crystals.  I tried to capture the translucent crystals in photos, but
it proved difficult.  I don't have a lightbox (yet), so I had to hold
the specimen up to a bright lamp with one hand and hold the camera
with the other.  The result was shaky/blurry photos.

But I did take a couple of decent shots of the slice here -
