Dear List Members,

The long awaited Official Public Offering of NWA 4468 is at hand. It has
been classified as a "Primitive Enriched Olivine Basaltic Shergottite"
meteorite. This is the one that is on the cover of November 2006 Meteorite
Magazine and includes an article I wrote about its recovery. This has got to
be one of the prettiest and freshest Martian meteorites known! I have just
loaded most of what is available on eBay, many with "Buy it Now", under my
seller name, NaturesVault.
