Dear List Members,

Please have a look at the below listed slices of
Northwest Africa 5000. These represent the smallest
rated slices we have in inventory and come with
individualized portfolios. All of the largest pieces
are now on hold pending institutional and corporate
negotiations. I am offering all of these at a 25%
discount below the listed appraised value. We would
like to see some of this fantastic lunar meteorite end
up in private collections so will also entertain
reasonable offers.

I was unaware until recently that this luniate is the
only gabbro from the lunar highlands ever found
including those brought back on Apollo and Luna
missions putting it into a class of its own. The more
reports I get back from laboratories, the more
impressive this gorgeous meteorite becomes and
interest is now intense.

Also, the last of the remaining fragments can be found
on eBay at this link:
