Hello list,

I have added a few photographs of my small Al Mahbas specimen on my website
showing the Al Mahbas (prov. name) meteorite and its "fire olivine".

The meteorite is very hard to photograph. It looks half man-polished and
half desert vanished, which gives it an appearence, at least in olivine rich
specimen such as mine, as a piece of amber. I was wondering how it would
appear to my fresh Huckitta. Like, Al Mahbas, a weathered pallasite, but it
doesn't at all.

Clear Skies,
Mark Bostick
