I have several new offerings this week for collectors, including a new brachinite, a gorgeous new LL4, and dozens of slices and endcuts. These are interesting new specimens in a range of sizes and prices from small micromounts to full slices and endcuts. I also have some eclectic, new, non-meteorite offerings, including crystals, arrowheads, tumbled semi-precious stones, and a fantastic lunar meteorwrong. I am running a sale right now - 25% OFF everything in the store. Of course, Met-List members (you!) get a running discount of 20% on all orders, but an extra 5% OFF is better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick! To get the discount, use the coupon code "sale" at checkout. If you have any problems with the checkout process, email me and we can do the order via email. I have had some reports in the last week of bugginess in my website checkout, so if it acts goofy on you, let me know - meteoritemike at gmail.com NWA 6077 - new Brachinite This very rare class of achondrite originates from an unknown parent body. This brachinite is relatively fresh with nice crystallization that is difficult to capture in photos but very beautiful to view in hand. Unlike many brachinites, some of these specimens have a tiny amount of metal and two haves large visible metal flecks. This meteorite was classified by Dr. Anthony Irving at UWS. I have specimens ranging from micromount crumbs to part slices larger than 1 gram. 1.46g part slice - http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/nwa-6077--rare-brachinite-achondrite-unknown-parent-body-146g 588mg part slice w/ metal fleck - http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/nwa-6077-brachinite-achondrite-w-rarely-seen-metal-inclusion-588mg 564mg part slice - http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/nwa-6077--rare-brachinite-achondrite-unknown-parent-body-564mg 504mg part slice w/ metal fleck - http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/nwa-6077--rare-brachinite-w-metal-flake-unknown-parent-body-504mg 397mg part slice - http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/nwa-6077--rare-brachinite-achondrite-unknown-parent-body-397mg 347mg part slice - http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/nwa-6077--rare-brachinite-achondrite-unknown-parent-body-347mg Micromounts - http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/nwa-6077--rare-brachinite-achondrite-unknown-parent-body-micromount NWA 6289, new LL4 chondrite. This new LL4 chondrite has a gorgeous orange-red matrix that is reminiscent of a rumuruti-type. It has dark colored clasts, light colored clasts, occasional chondrules and metal fleck.

It contains a pleasing mix of chondritic clasts, metal fleck, chondrules, and troilite. It is quite fresh and mildly shocked. LL4 is not a very common type, so these would make great samples for a type collection. I have a wide range of sizes, from small micromounts to crusted endcuts. All of these cut faces have been polished. 13g endcut - http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/nwa-6080-beautiful-ll4-chondrite-with-clasts-big-13g-crusted-endcut 11g endcut - http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/nwa-6080--beautiful-ll4-chondrite-with-clasts-11g-endcut 9.9g endcut - http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/nwa-6080-beautiful-ll4-chondrite-with-clasts-99g-endcut 8.08g slice - http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/nwa-6080--beautiful-ll4-chondrite-with-clasts-808g-slice 7.07g endcut - http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/nwa-6080--beautiful-ll4-chondrite-with-clasts-707g-endcut 4.72g endcut - http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/nwa-6080-beautiful-ll4-chondrite-with-clasts-472g-endcut 2.67g slice - http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/nwa-6080--beautiful-ll4-chondrite-with-clasts-267g-slice Large Micros - http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/nwa-6080--beautiful-ll4-chondrite-with-clasts-large-micros Small Micros - http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/nwa-6080--beautiful-ll4-chondrite-with-clasts-micromount NWA xxxx, Rumuruti (R-Chondrite). This meteorite has been classified and is currently awaiting it's provisional NWA number. It is a rumuruti-type chondrite with an orange-brown matrix, dark crust, and lots of chondrules and clasts that is typical of the type. I sliced a small stone for another dealer and I got to keep the pieces that came off during cutting, which resulted in these micromounts. Some of these pieces have crust on them. I only have a limited supply of micromounts and the earliest buyers will get the biggest pieces. When the NWA number comes in, I will notify all of the buyers.

The matrix is very fresh and the slice shows a lot of metal fleck, troilite, and chondrules. For type collectors, you can't find a better specimen of this class. I have a variety of specimens including a big endcut, slices and micros. I have reduced the prices on the biggest pieces! 29g crusted endcut - http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/nwa-6287-rare-lll5-transitionary-chondrite-big-29g-crusted-endcut 12g slice with big chondrule - http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/nwa-6287--rare-lll5-transitionary-chondrite--big-12g-slice 8.25g slice - http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/nwa-6287-rare-lll5-transitionary-chondrite-825g-slice-wcrust Micromounts - http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/nwa-6287-rare-lll5-transitionary-chondrite-micromount Gao Guenie - Witnessed Hammer Fall, Burkina Faso 1960. This a very fresh stone collected not long after the fall. It has dark black crust on the outside without much oxidation. This stone has been sliced in half to expose the most surface area of the matrix. The inside is packed with metal fleck and the cut faces have been polished. I only have one of these cut stones remaining. 6.26g split fresh stone - http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/gao-guenie-witnessed-hammer-fall-1960-fresh-halved-stone-626g Ghubara - Classic Early Desert Find, Oman 1954 This classic collector's meteorite has a characteristic black matrix with lighter-colored xenolithic clasts and metal fleck.
