******** MORE INFORMATION ON NWA 4734 LUNAR SLICE ********************
Right now there is a Lunar mare basalt NWA 4734 that I am offering that is almost half the price of the market value currently. This was the meteorite that was promoted earlier last year as a "monzogabbro". Well its not a monzogabbro, but maybe even better, as it is compositionally and visually very similar to the LaP lunar from Antarctica - an unbrecciated mare basalt. Looks actually more like a Shergottite to me. Very interesting texture, very interesting meteorite. RIght now, I have a 4.10g freshly crusted (on one side) part slice of NWA 4734 on auction on ebay with a starting bid of $3499.

The auction ends tomorrow - Tuesday. After that the future of the slice is uncertain. It may be broken down for easier sales. I would hate to have to do that to such a beautiful meteorite. So I would consider to sell to aficionados, this piece as the full piece of 4.10g.

But wait, you may say. This is far too much for me to possibly afford. You would be correct if shopping at most popular major meteorite dealers shops, where the price for this material is $1200 - $1800/g, or $4920 - $7380 for the piece. But for the next few days, I will offer to good customers and friends a crazy good deal for this 4.10g NWA 4734 slice. Just make me a serious offer that I won't refuse. If interested, give me a holler. Otherwise the delete key can work too ;^)
