Doug,

You are absolutely correct.

Steve Witt handled that second stone and I had not updated my records to reflect that the classification had to be split for the two stones. Based on visual observations, there was at the time a (small) concern that they may be different. Final classification did prove that these were the same and thus paired, even though 7989 is listed as a polymict eucrite and the 8588 as an eucrite. So, my apologies to you.

To be very clear, this mixup is my fault and I will update Suzanne and other clients as well. The website has already been updated as well to reflect the updated information.

Thank you for the keen eye!

Best,

Mendy

Is this from stone #1 (510g), or stone #2 (1635g) which Steve Witt was involved with?

Your website listed the 16.7g slice coming from the stone #2 and described:

"New Eucrite: NWA 7989 a beautiful multi-colored shock melt eucrite (provisional) TKW = 2145g (510g stone 1, 1635g stone 2)

Stone 2: Slices for Sale at $27.50/g: (all slices expertly cut & prepared my Marlin Cilz)"


Steve Witt held the 1635g stone according to the Meteoritical Bulletin, classified as NWA 8588.

TKW of NWA 7989 is only 510g.
NWA 8588 TKW is 1635g.

The above TKWs according to the Meteoritical Bulletin. Accept my deep apology if I have missed something.

Kindest wishes
Doug

I am the main mass holder of NWA 7989 and I am the one who provided this material to Suzanne during this year's Tucson show. So, it is 100% NWA 7989.

This is NWA 8588 sold precipitately as NWA 7989. All the buyers should have been contacted by the sellers with the approved classification.

Kindest wishes
