Brenham Iron
This Brenham iron appears to be a half-stone, but is in fact a smaller portion thereof which was expertly cut from an unusually shaped Brenham iron. This piece, together with the 21.7-pound Brenham iron, comprise the only two pieces of a 35-pound Brenham iron found in the dry stream bed on Mr. Milton Ross's wheat field. This substantial specimen has been expertly polished and acid-etched to reveal its beautiful, woven Widemanstatten, which cut face is made parallel to a octahedral face in the nickel-iron alloy crystal lattice. The result is this pattern of squares and rectangles in the alternating Kamacite and Taenite bands, with a strong diagonal lath of Schreibersite bisecting this specimen. 12.8 lbs (5.8 Kg) |
