Dear meteorite lovers and experts,


one of the grand specialties of Chladni's Heirs are the CK-Chondrites.
Still this year, we will receive the number for our 20th CK,
all among each other unpaired - as many as nobody else had in that time
span.
Nevertheless the CK-chondrites remain rarer
than any CV, CO or any eucrite, diogenite and howardite.

Today, we have the honor and the joy to introduce to you,
that CK, which we consider the best CK of all we ever had: NWA 6826.

Here already for the most hasty ones, the specimens!

Much we explained about the CK-group in our former Specials, their genetic
relation to the CV and CO-group,
their differences to these types and about the characteristics, which make
the CK-group so interesting and fascinating.
With NWA 6826 today, we will abstain from lengthy explanations and
iterations, (in case Weir's Studies will help you)
because the beauty of this very material
touches the heart of every collector.

Time it is - that we learned from many of our CKs,
and now this very NWA 6824 is the most incontrovertible argument for that -
to rewrite the old books,
which disqualify the CKs as dull, chondrules- ad CAI-poor and featureless,
due to their sulphides and iron-oxides and shock-blackening.
(Probably they had only Kobe, Karoonda and old HaH 280/281 at hand).

NWA 6826 speaks a different language!

It demonstrates par excellence how vivid, busy and spectacular CKs can be,
displaying a huge variety of different details.

Absolutely NECESSARY for you to get, what we're talking about, is TO ENLARGE
THE THUMBNAIL PHOTOS by clicking,
to fully enjoy that extravaganza and not missing out by skimming quickly the
page.

NWA 6824 is weakly shocked with S2.
And it is very fresh and unweathered with a weathering grade of W1.
We had also even slightly fresher ones, W0/1 among our palette of CKs,
though they were not so dazzling like this jewel now.
Note also the great snakeskin of fusion crust on the backside of the
endcuts:

Well, you might be worried about the costs for such an overwhelming
material,
and finally our Moroccan friends and colleagues raised the issue here on the
list
of the dramatically changed situation, which is going to happen since a
longer while in the NWA-scene.

But - we are proud to tell you, that we decided to make today an offer,
which regarding the quality,
should beat out the price levels, which you are used to commonly see for the
CK-group;

and priced all specimens - from the centerpiece of your carbonaceous-section
to the meaningful reference partslice,
all grinded and polished,
at one price, a reference to the Golden Times of NWA

of 25$/g.

With a tkw of 1.3kg we hope, that nobody has to miss out and we can launch
this Special earlier than usually.
Nevertheless, as always, it would be very helpful, if you would send us a
wish-list with the ranking of your desired specimens,
to avoid delays and traffic jam.

Once again, here they are now:
