NWA 7335 IS the most beautiful and most spectacular iron among the 1074 iron meteorites, the Bulletin lists. Full stop. Happy those, who own already their slice and will freely share with you their amazement arising, whenever they take a look on their specimen, cause that, what they observe, is truly unbelievable!: The kamacite, forming the Widmanst?tter pattern has not the usual shape of straight bars and bands, but you'll find it in form of twisted bundles, almost plaited like pigtails!! !! The baffled geometrician will find to his wondrousness intersection angles of 60? and even 70?! The size of the pigtail pattern is about that of a medium octahedrite, nevertheless - it's getting even better: The plessite fields between the pattern, they aren't empty, but full of myriads of tiny spindles, which in some fields repeat the Widmanstaetter pattern on a small, down to microscopic scale, while in other fields they form own geometrical patterns!! Absolutely unique and aesthetically a true bomb. Mysterious and enigmatic must be its genesis.

That iron represents on the iron meteorite sector the quintessence of more than 30 years of cold and hot desert hunting and you'll agree that it is apt, to crown and to complete a long and rich life of an iron meteorite specialist. (No worries, also the next 30 years we will be there for you). In those times of Mercurian prices, of pecuniary valuations of watery Martians, of groundshaking LL5s or Indian-Katolic H5s crazinesses, you'll see us to be much too old-fashioned in filling out the price tags. Our failure shall be your luck. Hereso are the last fullslices. More material isn't left from the 4.9kg that meteorite originally had. (And one of the slices we need still for the most prominent iron pope, so better give us also an alternative choice). All slices are ennobled on one side by the incredibly contrast-rich Meteorite House Finish (MHF), the other side is rough from the saw (ultrahard it is, that iron). Only the smallest slice has MHF on both sides. 29.05g (both sides MHF prepared) 726$ 562? http://www.meteoritenhaus.de/img/NWA7335_29_05_g_01.JPG http://www.meteoritenhaus.de/img/NWA7335_29_05_g_02.JPG 147g 1896$ 1470? http://www.meteoritenhaus.de/img/NWA7335_147_g_01.JPG http://www.meteoritenhaus.de/img/NWA7335_147_g_02.JPG 177g 2283$ 1770? http://www.meteoritenhaus.de/img/NWA7335_177_g_01.JPG 212g 2734$ 2120? http://www.meteoritenhaus.de/img/NWA7335_212_g_01.JPG NWA 7335! - Who, that hath no eyes to see, no heart to feel, shall never be called a serious collector again! And whoever dares to call this iron "nice", won't get any of it. Now good luck to all! Obeisances & homages, also those of North Korean style, we'll accept this time only publically here on the list, for people not erroneously thinking, that NWA 7335 would be only an insiders' tip and because of the wave of influenza raging in Germany, the Meteorite House is currently not able, to inflate NWA 7335 to that living legend, it already is and ever will be.
