Hello All,

If Pierre was a Brit, I'd say his description of Hadejia is a British
understatement. I received my little slice today, and what shall I tell
you? I've been collecting meteorites for many years now but seldom
have I seen such a pristine, extraordinary beauty: awesome brecciation,
light-colored clasts, medium-gray clasts, vera dark clasts,shock veins,
fresh fusion crust, finely disseminated minute spray of FeNi metal, and
so much more!

Take Peekskill, Zag (H3-6), plus Bensour, shake and mix
thoroughly, and you'll have something resembling Hadejia!!!

Sorry, but after twenty-five years into meteorites, there is
still enough enthusiasm to take off and sail along - sometimes :-)
