Hi MikeG.

I took a look at your AD items and noticed something I can keep you and
collectors with. In your "NWA 3144" description on your web page you wrote
"...[NWA 3144} Total Know Weigh is unknown..." Actually, the TKW IS known. I
purchased it in 2004 in Morocco and it was a single complete 1053g stone.
Here is the submitted classification:

>>
Northwest Africa 3144
    Morocco
    Purchased August 2004
    CV3 chondrite
A subspherical 1053 g stone with complete black fusion crust was purchased
in Rissani from a Moroccan dealer by G. Hup? (Hup?) in 2004 August.
Classification and mineralogy (A. Irving and S. Kuehner, UWS): Unusually
fresh sample (W1) with large chondrules and white to pale pink inclusions in
a very fine grained olivine-pyroxene-rich matrix. The several large CAI
appear to be ?Fluffy? Type A with cores composed of Mg-Al spinel (with
variable Fe contents), grossular garnet, perovskite, fassaitic
clinopyroxene, anorthite, sodalite (some Ca-bearing), and minor
anorthoclase, ilmenite and Ni-Zn metal. Wark-Lovering rims on CAI consist
of gehlenite, anorthite, spinel, olivine (~Fa60), andradite garnet,
hedenbergite, diopside, kirchsteinite(?) and Fe-Ni metal (60%Ni, with
measurable Pt and Rh). Barred olivine-rich chondrules and olivine-rich
aggregates consist mainly of forsterite with minor enstatite, Fe-Ni metal
(50% Ni, some partly altered to limonite), Cr-bearing magnetite (commonly
associated with metal), troilite, pentlandite and metallic Cu (containing Mo
and Sn). One barred olivine chondrule is surrounded by an olivine aggregate
rim with embedded chondrule fragments, suggesting that some olivine
aggregates may form by partial melting of barred olivine chondrules.
Specimens: type specimen, 20.0 g, AMNH; main mass, G. Hup?.

I am not sure where you got your piece, but if purchased from me on eBay a
few years ago, my description had the weight in it. I hope this helps!

Best Regards,
Greg
