Bondoc Mesosiderite-B4 Meteorite – The Good & the Bad

I received my Bondoc whole specimen yesterday and I processed it into my sphere rough cube today.

The GOOD – Very easy to cut 

The BAD – not a lot of visible metal

Here is a picture of the whole specimen

Overall I will be happy to have a meso sphere in my collection, I just wish it had more metal in it.

I’m soaking a small slice in phosphoric acid  so we will see how that turns out



I plan to sell the end cuts and slices but don’t really know what it’s worth so if you have an opinion on it’s “value per gram” please reply
