I agree with Dolores too and you would really need to see the pieces in
person. Some of you might recall how stones from some fresh falls can have
part of the stone with a shiny browner coloured crust. Oum Dreyga was one
that had quite a few stones like that and I think Bassikounou too. It has
been discussed on the list in the past. Also, if you look around the edge of
the stone Sonny pictured, you will see it appears black in those areas.

Cheers,

Jeff

I agree with Adam. I, too, have noticed that images of some meteorites,
including fresh falls, may appear black or brownish depending on the
lighting conditions (type, white balance, flash/no flash, angle) and
camera exposure... even though they may look black to the naked eye. I
think all would agree it is best to see meteorites in person.

Nevada or many times fresh falls take on a brownish hue. If the miner's
stone was found within a few hours of the fall, then I would think the
stones have a natural brownish hue or it could be the white balance is off
on the digital camera.

concern is safety.If anything was to happen on the mining clam, the site
would be shut down.
