Hi Greg and List,

NWA 4232. I don't recall that one, but that is good to know. :)

Even though we all know that Al-Hagg is an EL, there are still a
couple of dealers who offer it as an aubrite. I knew it wasn't an
aubrite the minute I acquired my first slice. That slice had a big
lonely chondrule smack in the middle of the matrix. I'd like to see
the someone reconcile that chondrule with an aubrite classification.
:)

I guess one of these days, the Met Bull will be corrected to reflect
the EL classification.

Best regards,

MikeG
