Aloha listoids,

The Big Kahuna is offering a limited supply of shrapnel sub-kilogram specimens of the new Iron Ataxite (anomalous) meteorite discovered in the Jilf al Kabir plateau region of Egypt in 2009. For Shrapnel, this is a very interesting meteorite with unique patination and inclusions (like the ones in Mirko's slices) visible through the surface. Check out new pictures of the selection being offered at very affordable prices: http://bigkahuna-meteorites.com/JaK.html
