Ouzina has a light brown matrix with blue/grey coloured chondrules. In true Rumurutiite fashion, nickel iron metal is almost completely absent, having oxidised-out while still in space.
Esquel Polished part slice 383g, 11.4 x 14cm Esquel (Chubut, Argentina) pallasite (stony-iron) - found 1951 Often described as `The Queen of Pallasites`, the Esquel meteorite is one of the most beautiful and visually appealing meteorites yet discovered. Pallasites are a mix of olivine crystals encased in a web of nickel-iron and are considered to form the core-mantle boundary layer within an asteroid. Thinly cut Esquel slices are translucent, allowing light to pass through the olivine crystals like a stained glass window.
Leighlinbridge Polished fragment 0.9g Leighlinbridge (Leighlinbridge, County Carlow, Ireland) L6 (stone) - fell 28th November 1999 At approximately 10:10pm on Sunday 28th November 1999, a bright fireball blazed across the night sky over Carlow town, County Carlow, Ireland and exploded in a huge detonation that was seen and heard by many of the local folk. Eyewitnesses have described the fireball as being "as bright as the full moon" and "it turned night into day". Shortly afterwards, once the slower travelling sound waves reached the stunned observers, a loud detonation was heard that has been described as "Massive!", "it shook houses", "security guards feared an explosion", "people were too scared to go outside". Despite such dramatic light and sound displays, a total of only 271g was recovered after Rob Elliott offered a cash reward in the local newspapers and on radio stations.
Zegdou Polished part slice 19g, 8.4 x 3.5cm Zegdou (Algeria) H3 (stone) - found August 1998 A French couple, while searching for meteorites in Algeria, found a single 6.7kg stone. Zegdou has been classified as an H3 chondrite and although weathered, contains many nice type 3 chondrules, shock veining and some large/very large light and dark clasts in the dark brown matrix. Unusually, the nickel iron metal flake in Zegdou is not evenly distributed throughout the matrix, but is bunched together in loose clumps.
Bishopville Fragment 4.2g, 2.2 x 2.0 x 1.5cm Bishopville (Lee County, South Carolina, USA) Aubrite (stone) - fell 25th March 1843 The Bishopville aubrite fell 166 years ago, in Lee County, South Carolina. After loud detonations, a single stone of just 5.9kg was recovered. This light coloured aubrite is also known as an enstatite achondrite, named after it`s most abundant mineral, enstatite. Large white crystals and fine black veins run throughout Bishopville, all topped-off with a tan coloured fusion crust.
Leedey Fusion crusted polished end piece 31.9g, 7 x 3.5cm Leedey (Dewey County, Oklahoma, USA) L6 (stone) - fell 25th November 1943 Witnesses to this event reported that the ground trembled as the meteorite detonated in the atmosphere. The Highway Patrol spent all day searching the local area for meteorites without success, and despite the bright fireball and loud explosions, only around 20 meteorites have since been recovered from this witnessed fall. Leedey has been well curated over the years, remaining fresh with recrystallised white and dark chondrules set in a light coloured matrix. Leedey provides an excellent example of "contraction cracking" of the outer fusion crust, caused by the very rapid cooling of the stone during "dark flight", shortly before it hit the Earth. Provenance: Monnig Collection, Texas Christian University

The piece was obviously considered of great importance within the family. The 90th Regiment of Foot (or Perthshire Volunteers) was raised in 1794, by Mr. Thomas Graham, of Lynedoch, Perthshire, later General Lord Lynedoch. By the Regimental Record Book, there appear to have been enlisted by 1812 a total of 538 Scots, 1097 English, 486 Irish and 23 foreigners. As these total 2144 this would have covered both battalions. The Regiment saw a good deal of service including Egypt in 1801, and the capture of Martinique in 1809 and Guadaloupe [Dominica] in 1810, two valuable islands in the West Indies; however they were not engaged in the Peninsular war and Waterloo campaign. In 1815, they were designated as one of the six Light Infantry regiments.
