Hello all,

At Whitman College, we have a combined Astronomy-Geology major. One of our
students would like to do a summer project using Scanning Electron
Microscopy to characterize a meteorite and then build a public facing
display in our Hall of Science.

If you know of a reputable source for a small, affordable (<$150) slice of
a chondrite or achondrite, would you kindly contact me at
nicolakp@whitman.edu?

Thank you,
Kirsten
