Hi Darryl,

I can't wait to see the photos. As a collector with a limited budget,
the photos are the closest I will ever get to owning a slice.

I think "epic" is an appropriate word to describe this offering. In
my almost-five years of meteorites, I have never seen a large or whole
slice of this meteorite ever offered. I have a few small flakes of
shale from this historic specimen, and that is just about all I have
ever seen on the market - shale and tiny part slices in the micro or
macro range.

Best regards,

MikeG
