Back when NWA were popularly known only as the initials for "Northwest
Airlines", a collector would wait years to fill the rarer
classifications for his/her "type collection." Rumarutis,
acapulcoites, angrites and the like were beyond the budgets of most
people.

Such was the case with CR2's. No one offered name sake Renazzo as the
great repositories of the world hadn't yet dealt their true rarities
for "exotic NWA" species.

In the late-1990's, I purchased El Djouf to fill the CR2
classification. I've had a lot of fun studying this gorgeous
meteorite. If research is your thing, papers about El Djouf 001 talk
about noble gases, olivine glass inclusions and dark clasts. The
primordial nebula comes in play. It's what meteorites are about to
me.... read the papers, know the rock, let your mind expand with the
realities of what you hold in your hand.

The only sample of El Djouf 001 I can find for sale is with Russ
Kempton who offers 0.005 grams for $15 ($3,000/gm.)

I'll sacrifice this to create more copies of "The Art of Collecting
Meteorites" for $300/gm or $360 + mail to wherever.

Please email me to confirm purchase before depositing Paypal funds.
