Hello all. We are very pleased to announce a truly amazing new iron
meteorite. A single mass of 1650g was found in 2004 in the western
sahara. This iron had a very unusual appearance and when we cut a sample
for analysis we were amazed by the bizarre etch pattern. It has a
micro-etch pattern consisting of thousands of tiny,
brilliant individual crystals which shimmer like tiny diamonds in the
light. It has a nickel content of 11.8% and a high gold content. To
check out this exquisite new desert iron go to our website and click on
the NWA 2428 link-it is definitely worth a look!


Cheers
