NWA1139 is mine, or was mine if the auction ended. It is uncut and has b= een only submitted for a number by me. I list about 250-300 auctions on = eBay a week, sometimes more. Because of this I use a like description fo= r every auction and change out what needs to be changed. I am sure this = is how other people do it to. Since it is uncut I can not see the matrix= and therefore did make an error. The high bidder asked me in my chat si= te about it and I told him it was uncut. If you are wanting to talk abou= t the term "main mass", I think you can find that information in our arch= ives. I am kind of on the fence on that subject. The numbering of meteo= rites has worked well for inventory purpose in other regions then Africa.= The problem of Africa meteorites is more the large numbers that has bee= n found. Why this is a problem is beyond me. You can see in the Meteoritical Archives here that the number was given t= o me for an individual. http://www.meteoriticalsociety.org/bulletin/prov-names.html However, I am kind of surprized you e-mailed the list and asked about it.= You have e-mailed me 60-80 times or more about other things. Will talk more about others things tonight. If anyone has any question a= bout this meteorite, feel free to e-mail.

This is confusing to me too; "NWA 1139 MAIN MASS" "Meteorite has a nice dark matrix with lots of metal flakes. One stone wi= th a total weight of only 61.6 grams and the complete uncut mass, otherwise known as the Main Mass or the Complete Mass." How do you know what the matrix is like if this is an uncut stone and one= of a kind?
