A bit o' the solar system...

arrived in the mail yesterday, a sizable fragment of the Sikhote-Alin meteorite, a generous gift from the Bu bro. I am anxious to cut, polish and acid etch the specimen once I return to the university in order to expose the Widmanstätten pattern typical of this class of iron meteorites. I will be sure to share the results.

Thanks, bro.
