Stupid Question?

Hello List,
I have been a member of the list for a couple of years and enjoy quietly
reading and learning from some people who obviously are a lot smarter than I
am! ... Well, most anyway..; -)

But here is my question: My first meteorite was found in a local ‘Rock shop’
in Georgetown, Colorado.  It was love at first sight and I had to have it!!
It is a sliced and etched Fe Ni end piece.  The lady who sold it to me didn't
know what is was or where it came from.

I compared the Widmanstatten figures with images from a couple of books and it
matches almost exactly with a Gibeon pictured.

Is this a viable method of identifying meteorite specimens??

Thanks for helping....
