...John T. Lonsdale Abstract The Florence Meteorite, the history of which is given below, 1 is of interest because of its excellent state of preservation and petrographic characters. The stone was a small one, measuring 11.5×14×11 cm. and weighed 3640 grams before cutting. The shape was roughly...

... pattern of the unknown mineral found in the Florence sample (i.e. Al 63 Cu 24 Fe 13 ) seemed promising because they matched exactly that of the quasicrystal synthesized by Tsai et al. ( 1987 ), but there had been enough experience with false positives during the search that direct evidence was needed...
