[meteorite-list] Widmanstatten Pattern on the outside??

[Bernd V. Pauli]

Jason Snyder inquired:

"I am curious if anyone has ever observed an iron
meteorite with a widmanstatten pattern on the outside"

Hello All,

Another famous example are so-called Gibeon octahedron crystals.
For more info on these crystals, see here:

The Gibeon Iron Meteorite in Perfect Crystals
by Roland Dietrich & Stefan König in:
 
Meteorite!  February 1997, pp. 28-29.

I have an 8-gram, tumbled octahedron Gibeon crystal in my collection
and its Widmanstätten pattern is easily recognizable on the outside!

Best wishes,

Bernd
