Aloha listoids,

Due to economical constraints (partially imposed by the delay from Nomcom to approve several of my subs), I am prepared to offer some new material that is in the pipeline for classification, but not yet approved.

* NWA x possible rumurutiite
A 155g stone was purchased from Morocco in July 2010, and appears visually to be an R-chondrite with well defined chondrules and exotic clasts set in a mustard brown matrix. Pre-release sales are priced at $30-$35/g for this material, but I'll take another 10% off for metlist members. All slices come in a quality labeled display box with COA, and once approved a new COA with label will be mailed at no extra cost.

* NWA x possible howardite
A 485g lot of six stones were purchased from Morocco in July 2010, and appears to be a howardite, with stunning matrix with plagioclase-pigeonite clasts. A visual treat for the eyes! Pre-release of this material are priced at $12/g, but I'll take another 10% off for metlist members. All slices come in a quality labeled display box with COA, and once approved a new COA with label will be mailed at no extra cost.
