Ok list, back to meteorites.

I have found a new Pallasite. When I say found, I mean
FOUND! the newest pallasite in the world. I have
pieces which were dug out of the sand only days ago.
This is one of only about 55 known pallasites.
Less than 2.5 kilograms found after weeks of intense
search and gridding of the site for several miles in
every direction.

I have small pieces, and some as large as 200 grams.
There will be very little to go around, as my partner
and I are keeping the largest pieces and several
pieces are already spoken for. It is from a desert
(location to be given later when classification is
complete). It has already been under analysis and is
likely a main-group pallsite.
The pieces are sandblasted, never sat in water, and
most have large golden-green olivine crystals, some
over 25 mm in diameter.
Photos will be posted later, I am too busy to do it at
the moment.
I will take private orders right now, first come first
served, it will likely run out quickly and you all
know how often a pallasite (FRESH and not shale) come
along.
email me privately for purchase information, and don't
take too long, this is it.
