Well, according to Gary Allende has a distinct smell to it, i asked him what he
could compare it to - seems he wasn't sure. One of the reasons I bought it was
to find out what it smells like.. I stuck my nose into the baglet it came in
with the meteorite inside, and sniffed away... noticed a scent that reminds me
of that lime flavored powder used to make drinks (margarita perhaps).


<Actually, a petrified slice of lime looks surprisingly similar to Allende.

Really?

Either that, or he was doing tequila shots with lime as he was packaging
your specimen. LOL

Hey list.
Yesterday I got an nice chunk of Allende from Big Kahuna Meteorites. Is it
me,
or does this meteorite have an aroma reminiscent of lime?
