[meteorite-list] Ad Meteorite Sale, Several Rarities! Ad

Hi Mike,

We believe the crust popped out in this odd formation along the contraction 
cracks after it landed, definitely not from sandblasting. Pretty neat visual 
effect!

Best Regards,
Greg

Beautiful specimen.  It reminds me of an arrowhead.  Is the scalloping
the result of sandblasting or ablation?

Best regards,
