Aloha Listoids,

First and foremost, Happy Birthday Park Forest! Seven years on planet earth. In celebration, I have a few offerings for your perusal: two new L3 chondrites, more new lodranite slices, and ebay auctions. First the new unequilibrated stones:

NWA 6168 L3 (S2, W1) is a wonderfully fresh brecciated stone of 614g TKW. Within a pale matrix are light colored chondrules and large L4 clasts. This stone is paired with NWA 5667/5701 and one look will remind you of this. Slices from 15 to 20 grams, and a 55g fat endcut can be seen at http://bigkahuna-meteorites.com/desertDeals.html

NWA 6169 L3.3 (S2, W2) is brecciated stone of 270g TKW. Cut slices reveal many different L3 lithologies co-mingling in the same meteorite, along with chondrules of almost every type and color. A veritable feast for the eyes: http://bigkahuna-meteorites.com/Images/270g/_NWAx93.83a.jpg . Slices from 5 to 15 grams, and a fat 93.83g endcut are available:

NWA 6075 Lodranite is one gorgeous stone that features a 3D brecciation that has to be seen to be appreciated. Slices went quickly the first time around. I cut some more down and have them available in smaller uncut fragments, a few slices and one endcut. Check out the webpage for selection, but if you don't find what you are looking for, drop me a line and I may be able to find a Private Reserve piece or two.

Finally, my regular weekly ebay auctions featuring a full lineup of quality specimens will end tomorrow, Saturday, March 27 starting at 10:20 am Pacific / 1:20 pm Eastern / 6:20 pm London / 8:20 pm Helsinki. Too many items to list here (including a Park Forest PS), many still at $1. Its worth your time to take a look:
