I found pictures of Steinbach individual pieces found in 2017 and 2019. The PDF article about these finds with photos is "bullmineral.cz/paper/download/245/fulltext" The pictures of these weathered pieces do not look like today's MPOD. |

My first thought was it looks like a Pallasite, but I also recall personally holding/seeing a large Gujba individual that also looked somewhat like a Pallasite. I could see a Steinbach individual being just as gnarly looking too. When I think of Steinbach I always think of reddish-brown pyroxene that it is known for. Maybe that is what should be checked first. Are any reddish-brown crystals evident on the exterior? |

This sample looks also to me more like a piece of PAL from Krasnojarsk than from Steinbach. Maybe Walter switched the pieces ? |

That's a pallasite. Crystals visible in the second photo are far too large and yellow to be Steinbach. I think too large and angular for Krasnojarsk. If it's a historic institutional mix-up, the most likely candidate is probably Imilac, but it could be something else (Admire?). Given the rarity of older published pallasites, it could probably be figured out analytically. |

Thank you all! I am glad you like it. And John, I am glad you have a good place for it, I would be delighted to sell it to you. :-) |

Another pedigree with honorable provenance(s). I have just the right place for it. Thank you, Anne. |

Wow! My little Steinbach looks like a tiny dwarf (1.3 gr) when compared to that specimen from the unforgettable Walter & Niki Zeitschel! |

Incredible. A giant piece of an early historical German fall. Cudos, Anne. |
