Well, glad to hear that Steins is now official...at long last ;-)
I got my three small slices* from Michael Cottingham in February
2008 - that's 6 years ago!

* 1.39 gr + 1.18 gr + 0.72 gr

The 1.39 gr part slice has a large, dark gray chondrule measuring 3 mm.
The 1.18 gr slice shows a hollow where a chondrule must have been sitting.
The 0.72 gr curved slice sports two porphyritic chondrules (d = ca. 1 mm
each) close to each other.

Best wishes,

Bernd
