Hello all-

Thought I'd burn the midnight oil and give the folks across the pond a
fighting chance at a great deal.

Up for offer is some of the Recrystallized Howardite NWA 1929

Classification info below, this material is PAIRED

Classification and mineralogy (T. Bunch and J. Wittke, NAU): a
heavily shocked (S4-6) breccia of 72 vol % cumulate eucrite clasts, 8%
subophitic clasts, 14% diogenites and 6% melt clasts. Pervasive solid-state
recrystallization of plagioclase and pyroxenes; localized melt pockets and
veins in clasts. Cumulate pyroxene, Fs45-40Wo7-20; plagioclase, An91.2-95.3;
melted metal droplets, 0.97 wt % Ni and 0.87 % Cr. Diogenite pyroxene,
Fs43-54 Wo2.5-3.6. Fresh crust and minor interior staining.

I have three large pieces for sale at an excellent price, and when I say
excellent I mean $14 per gram and under!

They are split individuals that fit perfectly together. Keep both pieces or
sell one and make some money while keeping one for yourself.

If you ever wanted a showy Howardite but never thought you could afford
it...take a look
