Hi All,
There are still some L's from the Sahara that are not called '869'! YES!
As you probably know we have some Acfer and Tanezrouft meteorites that are not '869' and that will become more and more rare as it
is now impossible to go and hunt for meteorites in Algeria... Enjoy!

Those of you who will be in Ensisheim and Ste Marie can see them for real!!!
All the best,
