Clarification - New Nebraska Find

Dear List Members,

As previously mentioned, I have acquired a brand new Nebraska find (apx 
700 g):  

Name:  Hebron, Nebraska
TKW:  22 kg
Found 1965, recognized Feb 1998

I stated that Alan Rubin at UCLA did a preliminary analysis and 
classified this meteorite L6.  This is not so.  That information came 
from the owner of the meteorite.  I had a conversation with Alan today 
and the meteorite remains unclassified; however, it still looks to me 
like an H5, maybe H6, with some brecciation and a fair amount of 
terrestrial weathering.  Alan will be releasing the information when he 
is done.

The stone was purchased from the finder for a moderately high price.  
15 kg, which will represent the main mass, is for sale @ $15,000. 
Otherwise, a few kgs are available @ $1.50 per gram. 

At this time I am still selling small partial slices with fusion crust 
at $1.50, with a 50 gram minimum.

Thank you,

Michael Casper
