Most of us th= ought it was a eucrite and the asking price of $10.00 was too much, ala o= ver $10,000. (Wish I would have known its real origin then). Anyway....= what happened to the other 250 grams? Was this cut off in Morocco and if= so where is it now. A few small pieces were cut off in Morocco but what= appeared missing was small enough that several photo angles could be tak= en and you not see the window or windows. =20 So either, there is two NWA482 stones, 250 grams got lost?, or the morocc= ans have a very bad scale. Does anyone else know more about this?
