HI everyone,

Well, since the Tucson show, where for the first few
days Jim and I had NWA 2975 on Display, we have been
inundated with requests for material.
The entire stone less classification and curation
material was sold to a single private collector, and a
piece was sold at the Michael Blood auction.

We have some fragments and crumbs left, less than 3
grams total. THAT IS ALL there is. We have decided to
go ahead and release some material. Email me with the
amount you want to spend on a specimen, and I will let
you know what I have available.

These are small pieces, some with rich black glossy
crust though. They are EXPENSIVE. With less than 3
grams for the collecting world, it is prices
accordingly. So please don?t tell me how cheap other
Martian pieces are, this is not cheap, nor should it
be for the freshest Martian meteorite ever found that
is not a witnessed fall.
