Hi Folks!

This ad is of special interest to type collectors. I have 2 new
offerings of very rare types not often seen on the market.

First, there is NWA 6287, a rare "L/LL5". This meteorite was bought
out of Morocco by John Higgins and classified by Dr. Tony Irving. Dr.
Irving said this meteorite does not fit into the L or LL class, so he
gave it the provisional classification of "L/LL5" pending more study.
Whatever it is, it's quite unusual and it's chemistry does not neatly
fit into the known OC groups. It is an attractive meteorite with
plentiful metal fleck, troilite, clasts and occasional chondrules. I
only have a limited quantity of this meteorite in the form of slices,
endcuts and micromounts. If you want a BIG specimen of this
meteorite, contact John Higgins and he will be happy to hook you up.

The next offering also comes courtesy of John Higgins and was also
classified by Dr. Tony Irving. It is a super-rare CO3.4 type. I
don't need to explain how rare this type is. Just do a Google search
and you'll quickly see that this type is almost completely absent on
the market. This meteorite has received the provisional name of NWA
6281. My supply of this meteorite is extremely limited. Again, if
you want a BIG specimen of it, see John Higgins.

Need an LL4 for your type collection, I have that also. This also
comes from the impressive collection of John Higgins and he has some
very large specimens of it. I have a few smaller pieces to offer.
This is NWA 6080.
