These two meteorites are indeed the same. I was in Morocco 5 days ago, and I
saw at least 200 kilos of it for sale. I agree with Dean (for once), there
are at least 1500 kilos, maybe 2000 kilos of that meteorite.

Hi all,
        If anyone is still without a terrific stash of this material, I can
offer a 10 kg lot for a total of $1,500 + shipping. (Mixed sizes, good
fusion crust, etc. - typical lot of NWA 869). That is cheaper
than directly from Dean - of course, if you want more than 10kg,
Dean is the man from which to get it.
        Best wishes, Michael

I have opinions of my own -- strong opinions -- but I don't
always agree with them.
