No, D'Orbigny isn't a nice stone.

Definitely not a nice stone...


But now I have to prepare the song about the POPE of Mars in spoonerisms.

It is a nice stone, I doubt anyone could argue that. With a Total known
weight of over 16kg, there is more of it then all other angrites put
together. Very nice to have so much available to collectors. Over half the
weight of all angrites in one stone... wow. Makes my 235g angrite look so
small. The main mass of yours weights 16kg more then my whole stone did.

But at $500 per gram those that cant afford a sample of that can turn to my
NWA 6291 "King of Angrites" which is priced at well under $300 per gram less
with a considerable amount lower total known weight (even with potential
pairings) Isnt having choices a great thing!

Even if NWA 6291 is paired to a meteorite that is unique to the angrite
class, NWA 6291 stands out from its paired material (NWA 2999) so much, the
people who recovered it even questioned the person that did the
classification on both of 6291 and its pairing 2999!!!

How exciting is that? An angrite that is paired to a unique class like 2999,
but totally unique from that one in appearance.

Two good options for buyers.

NWA 6291 angite for well under $200 per gram

D'Orbigny for $500 per gram or more?
