Hello James and List,

"it seems to me that this is the same kind of material
as the Katol, India fall from May of last year."
No, James! Sorry! I saw Sahara 03500 in person at one
of the Ensisheim Shows, was allowed by Michel to hold
it in my hands and I also have a nice, little Katol slice.
Katol is much fresher, much more pristine, much more crystalline
and it does have those beautiful green chromium-rich pyroxenes
which Sahara 03500 does not have! Moreover some Katol pieces
seem to have relic chondrules. I discovered two of them in my
slice!
Best wishes,
Bernd
