Hi Adam and list,

I have been a fan of iron in lunar meteorites for quite some time. I have
a couple samples where you need a microscope to see the iron but nothing
with a chunk of iron as your Legendary - 1.478 gram part slice with metal of
Lunar meteorite NWA 5000 listing clearly has.

This is a big deal!!! The iron is a meteorite that impacted the moon.
Because there is no atmosphere the impact velocities are high and most
material is vaporized. This is why microscopic bits are the typical find.

I don't know what is documented, but this is the largest iron chunk in a
Lunar meteorite that I have ever heard of.

To who ever grabs this sample, I will (If you trust me with it) offer to
put a 1/4 micron polish on the one side and take some killer incident light
shots of the iron. I will return the polished sample with a CD of the
micrographs. The polish loss would be little as this sample appears to be flat
and needing no grinding just a diamond slurry on a felt pad.

Dear List Members,

Please take a look at some great auctions due to end in a few days after
running
for 30 days. Why wait for museum quality specimens to be listed in a major
auction house at more than twice my asking price? I listed some extremely
large
and rare specimens. They are all priced very reasonably and the make
offer
option has been engaged. Do not be afraid to make a reasonable offer since
I am
motivated after a 30-day run time.
