[meteorite-list] AD - Smelling the volatiles in Aguas Zarcas

[Rob Wesel]

Hello all

I have three 40-50 gram pieces of a broken stone from the Aguas Zarcas 
fall. As soon as I got them I placed them in airtight containers with 
natural combed wool. Wool naturally absorbs odor, remember that scarf 
that always smells of cologne? Within ten minutes of sitting in the 
containers you can open them and get that Murchison smell that was once 
the stuff of legend. Reseal and ten minutes later you can do it again. 
I'm not sure how long the outgassing of hydrocarbons continues but if 
you get one of these pieces it's a whole new experience...smelling 
extraterrestrial organics. I know the Murchison piece smelled well after 
the fall, I don't know how often that jar was opened so I'm enjoying it 
while I can.

They are available here on eBay, 10% discount if you hit me up direct. 
Sizable pieces at a good price and a once every 50 year olfactory 
experience.
