Hello Fellow Meteorite Collectors,
?
Recently I had a number of NWA specimens classified, most of which are relatively rare in their classifications and/or abundance.? I have been diligently working on cutting and polishing specimens and finally have some available for sale. ?
?
Knowing that this was in the pipeline, along with other classifications upcoming, I elected to create a website with the hopes that it would make the listing of available specimens easier for everyone involved.? This is a brand new website which has literally just gone live today. Hopefully it will function flawlessly, but if not?please just contact me here and we?ll sort things out. The website is based on a Wordpress template so hopefully it will work well for this purpose.

On the website you will find the following recent classifications:
?
NWA 10915 ? Granulitic Brecciated Eucrite ? A rare classification with a very low TKW
?
NWA 10916 ? Unequilibrated CO3.0 ? An unequillibrated specimen of a rare classification with a very low TKW
?
NWA 10917 ? Unequilibrated R3 with a suggested subtype of R3.8 ? Another rare classification with an even more rare subtype, and a very low TKW
?
NWA 10956 ? H4 Ordinary Chondrite ? A unique H4 with large chondrules, composed in part of a mineral rarely seen in meteorites.
?
NWA 10885 ? L6 Ordinary Chondrite ? A relatively fresh L6 with a prominent rim of fusion crust in many specimens.
?
Hope you will enjoy the website, and will take this opportunity to add one of these unique classifications to your collection. Please take a moment to bookmark my site as I have at least three of four other classifications upcoming in the not too distant future, a few of which are very unique classifications.
?
Domestic purchases are all shipped USPS priority, and if purchased in the next 24hrs would likely arrive on or before Christmas Eve.
?
Please contact me here if you have any questions or concerns.

Cheers!
