Hello members,

just a small & speedy AD:

>From our last travel we brought back once again a small lot of specimens of
that incredible "Tamdakht-Couscous", which still awaits an explication for
its formation. See also the discussion on the list one year ago:

There we have a grinded half of a specimen to spare. 7.106g. 50$/g

Second offer today is a fullslice of a small new winonaite (NWA 6187 prov.)
There we wrote "stony" in the title, because it doesn't belong to the
iron-rich ones, where here on the list it was discussed, how they could be
differentiated from the silicated IAB-irons.
Well, that here would be a "normal" AWIN (if something like this exists.
They are so rare...)

A fullslice of 4.281g, one side polished, one side grinded. 100$/g

Thank you for your attention
and our (admittedly somewhat jealous) greetings
to the hunters and collectors in WI!
Go for the main mass!
