Hi Harlen,
Are you are refering to the 15 gram or so Glorieta
that I sold you? If so I must tell you that we all
thought that might me the nicest example of a glorieta
we've ever seen. It has the most amazing spiral flow
lines and fusion crust ever. Plus it had nice olivine
too. I do kinda regret selling that one. Oh well...

glorieta IS my favorite meteorite because of exactly
what you said+ steve's incredible quest occupying a
major part of his life that paid of for him. i have
been buying little glorietas on ebay and love them. i
have one with a crust fresher than most sikhotes. the
individuals are great and the junky ones are really
fun to cut, polish or etch. truly a great american
skyrock indeed! oh, exacly WAHT is the melting point
of olivene? is this melting point acheived during
reentry or does the olivene just heat up, crack and
"flake"out of those holes? also, if marjahlati is a
pallasite fall, where are the crusted individuals like
glorieata?

3500 ft up doesnt help either. I had to stop and take
a rest every thirty minutes or so to keep from tiring
out.
