When I was in the Air Force, I received a safety bulletin about a guy who was stabbed by a friend. The reason? The stabee was showing the stabber how strong his bullet-proof vest was. So comic-book stuff aside, a material that can stop bullets may not be able to stop a stabbing weapon:

Everyone knows that Martha Kent unraveled his blanket into one long thread and re-knit it into the familiar suit (it’s better not to ask about the cape, boots, and color variations).

Esquel, from Argentina, are the best. The iron is stable (it doesn’t rust) and the olivine crystals are clear and clean. It is very expensive.

I was Googling pallasite photos, and this site has some large photos of brilliant pallasites. Very beautiful once they’re polished up.

The site with the largest oriented pallasite found last year near this new one has some other Brenham meteorite pieces for sale (since they won’t chop up the big one), but you have to email them for the price. ~Sigh~ If you have to ask…

Wow,
If he sold it a gram at a time for the max price, he’d get more than 600000 dollars for it.
