[meteorite-list] Nantan rusters (Was: Widmanstatten Pattern on the outside?)

[Michael Farmer]

I have a ~120 kg endpiece of Nantan, cut by Robert Ward ~4 years ago, looks better than my cut Gibeon which shows some rust in Tucson, Nantan flawless. 
I will have many nice pieces of this Nantan in Ensisheim/St Marie next month.
