Very beautiful slice Mike, thanks for sharing! I'm missing the pick of the
day as well.

What a cool find with the meteorite powder! I think it really is magic.

Good morning list.

Have been missing the meteorite pic of the day (does anyone have news yet?)
and so I thought I would post a pic of my latest baby.

A gorgeous eucrite with a subtle pink hue. "A monomict eucrite breccia
having large diogenite clasts and extremely fine grained basaltic clasts set
in a light matrix having a pink hue!"

Purchased this slice from John Birdsell of Arizona. The slice is perfect!
Thickness does not vary by more than 0.1mm and both surfaces are finished to
the best polish for this material.

Here is a pic:

My other "pic of the day" is from a small box of "quack" medicine I
purchased. From 1910 this box is unopened and contains a vial of "meteorite
electric powder". A little bit of ephemera showing how 100 years ago
meteorites were already considered magic.

Cheers!
