> Hello Everyone! We are happy to announce a NEW Saharan Iron-NWA 2677
> (prov.)! This exceptional little iron is a new, and particularily
> beautiful iron from the Saharan desert. It has been provisionally
> classified as a IIICD (it appears to group closely to the IAB subclass
> LM). Classification data will be submitted to the Nom. Com. shortly.
> Saharan irons are rare and this one is particularly rare with a total
> known weight prior to cutting of just 100 grams. After accounting for
> the 21 grams being donated to Science as type specimens and cutting
> losses, there are only about 60-65 grams available for collectors. This
> lovely little iron has moderately high nickel content of 12.8% and is
> quite stable. It has a very attractive etch! Please feel free to check
> out the photos!
