Hello list, I am curious....when the lunar meteorite NWA482 was being offered = around morocco it was 1278 grams and not 1015 as later reported. Most = of us thought it was a eucrite and the asking price of $10.00 was too = much, ala over $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 taken and you not see the window or windows. =20 So either, there is two NWA482 stones, 250 grams got lost?, or the = moroccans have a very bad scale. Does anyone else know more about this?
