after actually LOOKING at the 200g L/LL3 that I bought from Blaine in
Tucson, as wel las looking at the photos of Stefan's material, I must
retract my previous statements.. They DO look very much alike, with the
notable exception of the fusion crust. A very nice, fresh crust on the NWA
3099, and no hint of fusion crust even ever having existed on the stuff I
got from Blaine...

Just wanted to set the record straight...
