Excellent choice - congrats, Tom!

There are two specimens in my collection, an 18.9 g,
brecciated, FeNi-rich, heavily veined whole stone
cut in two halves that I purchased from Jim Strope,
it's one of my all-time favorites ... and a breathtaking
64.8 g oriented NWA 788 with both primary and secondary
fusion crust, outstanding flow lines, thin surficial veins,
partial lip-over and some frothing at the trailing base that
I acquired from Adam and Greg Hupé. No need to tell you how
much I love these two beauties!
