All:
I also?purchased?one of those very (thin) specimens and I must say it is?striking. ?I think the industry puts too much on just price/gram. ?There are so many other?factors?that gives meteorites their value. ?Just keep in mind that if you are satisfied with the price, then all is good; don't get caught up in thinking you have to get the best deal on price/gram.
I have a NWA 801 that's shaped like a cube. ?I think I may?prefer?to have Richard's even if it were half the weight as mine.
