WOW,

Thanks for the heads-up about this piece...I didn't exactly know how much it
had been going for... and I am happy to be giving everyone a good deal! I
also would entertain trades on the larger pieces. Funny thing is I never
really wanted to sell any of it, but I was rearranging my display cabinet a
few days ago and I dropped the Main Mass of NWA 2635 onto a Canyon Diablo
with a sharp point... Ouch! It broke into ebay size specimens!

Thanks and Best Wishes

Michael Cottingham

auction and in my ebay store at what I think are Great Prices.
Starting at $7.00 per gram, for a new Achondrite-Ungrouped! A
little while ago this stuff ... was doing $50 to $100 per gram.
 I got a good deal on the Main Mass so I am passing it on to you!"

Hello All!

I would like to confirm Michael's statement, confirm, ...especially
regarding
the price per gram he is asking. I bought a 2.41-gram slice from the
previous
owner(s) of this achondrite when it was still assumed it might be an H7 (!)
chondrite and I paid $125 - this is about 52 dollars per gram. In other
words,
$7 per gram is an extremely generous offer for an extremely interesting
achondrite!

It's *not* an H chondrite even though it has H chondrite affinities. It's
not a
brachinite even though it contains about 70% olivine. So, what is it? Go,
get
one and look at it!

Best wishes,

Bernd
