> Dear List Members,
>
> We would like to take this opportunity to announce
> Northwest Africa 5000. To keep things
> straightforward, Northwest Africa 5000 is a Massive,
> Gorgeous and Unique Feldspathic Leucogabbroic Breccia
> from the Lunar Highlands. We deem that it is the most
> impressive meteorite ever found but admittedly there
> may be some biases involved, we will let you be the
> judge. Its immense presence influenced more than two
> dozen enthusiasts to become involved with the
> supervision of this remarkable meteorite. Every
> aspect of Northwest Africa 5000 has been micromanaged,
> representing over 1,600 man-hours of passionate labor
> over the last five months. There is too much to cover
> in a single post so we will be providing supplementary
> information in the upcoming weeks.
>
> Several new systems including a rating scale has been
> developed around this Moon rock. We will get more into
> this later including the scale key. This rating
> system is extremely rigid, more so than that of
> widespread diamonds, common in comparison to material
> from our Moon. Basically, the scale ranges from 0 for
> typical lunar material (if there is such a thing) all
> the way up to a nearly unachievable 10 based on 6
> points of criteria. The new rating system is so
> stringent that it is possible for a Lunaite to rate
> less than 0.
>
> We do not have a sales inventory ready at this time as
> the prepared slices are still being analyzed and
> independently rated, however we are on track to make a
> few nice specimens obtainable at the Tucson Gem and
> Mineral Show. Please consider hanging onto your
> hard-earned assets until you have experienced
> Northwest Africa 5000 as we reason you will be of the
> same mind that it is the all-time best. Your
> resources will be best invested in a rock that is
> destined to become legendary. We will post an
> announcement when the catalog is finished and where it
> can be seen in person as it is impossible to capture
> its beauty by way of image. For those of you who will
> be attending the Tucson show, I will introduce you to
> two promotional consultants who are also partners on
> this massive project, young and understand fun!
>
> Here is a link providing more details in Microsoft
> Word format. There are sub-links imbedded in this
> document including a huge 3-D movie file, a PDF file
> and a few standard images.
