Sorry if this posts twice!

Dear List,

today I would like to offer you 6 pieces of the new iron meteorite from
Egypt.
Most pieces have shrapnell like features. The meteorite was found and
collected around a crater which was most probably caused by the impact of
this meteorite.
Pictures of the crater and more information can be viewed here:

The meteorite will probably be classified as an anomalous Ataxite and the
proposed name is Jilf al Kabir.
Here are the pieces I have available at this time including links to
pictures:

If you are interested in any of the pieces please send me an email to:

I will be handling all orders in the order I receive them.
If the piece you are interested in is already taken you will have first shot
at another specimen even if somebody else already inquired about it.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
