Dear Christian,

I thoroughly enjoyed looking at your endcut and your slice - wonderful!
Thanks Bernd!

I also appreciate the variety of inclusions. You never know what you're
going to get when you cut an 869. I have one that is already sliced but
needs work. Perhaps someone could shed some light on the grey inclusions in
mine. It is not clear from my pictures but there are four other smaller grey
inclusions like the largest one that is 19 mm x 9 mm. It also has a "stone
in stone".

I apologize for its appearance - I generally don't display my sometimes
screamingly obvious sawmarks :>) This one and the rest of the slices are
gonna be even more beautiful (someday).

You can see it at http://photos.yahoo.com/dragonsoup_maria.

Maria

Hi Bernd, Maria and all the other 869-er loving collectors,

NWA 869 ist one of the most beautiful meteorites for me. That means
the interior of that meteorite. It has so many different inclusions
and surprises in it.

I want to share with you my favourite pieces of NWA 869 in my collection:

One endcut, 1010 grams , 180 x 130 mm with a "stone in the stone", that's
what I call the big inclusion 50 x 40 mm.

One big full slice, 904 grams, 185 x 165 mm with many dark inclusions.

and both pieces for comparison

> they may take this meteorite as a specimen not worth getting.

Hello All,

Meanwhile there are seven 869-ers in my collection and one is
as beautiful as the other - one of my most beautiful NWA 869
specimens is the 21.9-gram slice from list member Maria Haas.

And Christian Anger will also be able to tell you that some of
his 869-er specimens are really unique and gorgeous beauties!

Best wishes,

Bernd
