WOW... the first time i see a complete bondoc slice...
i have the 2 "lithologies" of bondoc...
the "stony' part and the metallic nodules..
i experience a lot of problems of rusting in the stony part.. formation of droplets of "liquid rust" (like akagane*te)..
i try to rinse several times with demi water then pure alcohol, oven drying..
anybody an idea to solve this ?
thanks !! |

Hi Ray,
This is a beautiful slice of A Bondoc nodule!
The pyroxene and metal look fantastic together.
I love the contraction cracks in it:)
Well done M8 |

Never mind...I reminded myself that NWA 3106 is called a metal-rich diogenite. There maybe others. |

this nice photo reminds me of the some NWA finds that were first described as metal-rich diogentites. Those turned out to be mesosiderites too. No such thing as a metal-rich diogentite that I know of to date. |
