Maybe the labbennes can clear this up but they told me
several years ago that they had a numbering error.
I had one of their sahara meteorites that they
numbered 00225 (Before NWAs I bought a lot of the
labbennes unclassified stuff) and I sold it as
unclassified which it was.
Later some rare and expensive classification came up
as SAH00225 (I cant remeber what it was) and after
asking about it the labbennes indicated that it was an
error as what I had was unclassified. I sold all mine
cheap as unclassified at under $1 a gram and this was
correct.
So basically, if you bought SAH00225 as unclassified
and under $2 a gram you have the error numbered one
that the labbennes made a mistake in numbering and if
you bought it as a rare and expensive classification
paying much more you have the rare classification.
At least this should be how it is anyway. I dont think
that anybody has bought any that was misrepresented as
to the classification. The error one was all long sold
before the rare classification one was announced and
my buyers all bought it cheap as unclassified.
Hope this clears things up
Cheers
DEAN
