Dear meteorite enthusiasts,

Since I need to raise some money for new acquisitions
VERY quick, I'd like to offer you some nice meteorites
at VERY reasonable prices.

For sale is the main mass of HaH173, L6 (S5/W1), 16.7 kg,
at $2000. That's just $0.12/g (!), and I'm sure it will be
hard to find such a low price for ANY unclassified NWA
find, especially not for such a fresh and interesting
one. Have a look at the main mass:

Okay, it's covered with a layer of calcite and sand, and
it doesn't look like a beauty on the outside. To convince
you of the quality and freshness of this meteorite, I've
cut some small pieces off the main mass. Look at two of
these samples:

The latter slice shows a black shock-vein on the right and
a nice large chondrule. Doesn't the matrix of this meteorite
look as fresh as the matrix in some L6 falls?

I've cut slices from smaller framents of HaH173 that show
a more extensive weathering. However, I'll show you two
pictures that might convince you of the nice interior of
this meteorite. Have a look at this slice, displaying a
huge chondrule (diameter ~8mm!!) and a large troilite
inclusion:

Now imagine what a full slice of the fresh main mass,
criss-crossed with shock-veins, might look like! You get
the 16.7kg mass at $2000, below NWA prices, exclusive
shipping - first come, first served! Payment via bank
wire transfer prefered, PayPal possible.

Please contact me off-list for further information.

Best,
Norbert Classen
IMCA #7606

PS: Before I forget it, I've another NICE piece for sale,
a huge slice of the first Saharan lunar, DaG262. It weighs
17.17g, has one crusted edge, and measures 45x35x5mm. Have
a look:

The price? Please contact me off-list if interested. I'm
accepting reasonable offers, too. Dealers welcome!
