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!
