Anne, for the sparkling we have Imilac, Esquel and other suspects. A Huckita is a Huckita is a Huckita (thank you, Gertrude). And that is good so : - ) |

Thank you, glad you like this Big Huckitta, I didn't realize it was bigger than the Smithsonian's! Thanks Matthias. Long time ago I had a slice where you could see some tiny sparks of yellow if you looked very hard and used a really bright light. |

Now here's a Huckitta where not all the olivines have been converted to opaque, black masses. Thanks for sharing, Anne! |

Endcut or good sized mass with window - always the best solution to have two in one piece: exterior as well as interior of a meteorite. This is definitely a grandfather from Downunder, aged in dignity. Still visible: the characteristical pallasitic grid-structure. And really a massive one, right between the masses of the National Museum of Natural History, Washington, D.C. (403 gms) and the 733 gms specimen of the Max Planck Insitute, Mainz. Thanks for sharing, Anne. |
