I've bought from you...I'm a newer guy and what I collect is large NWA
unclassified. I have no interest in rare small specimens, but that
may change. I'm still amazed that I own these this, and there is
nothing better than a huge meteorite to examine. I have one
especially that shows several different ancient impacts and different
materials in one slice. It makes me wonder how analysis is made
considering the 4 or5 different materials one is made up of. I'm
slowly getting into the etched metals but rocks have my attention now.
