Hi all,

I am happy to announce that I have for sale NWA 12328 - a newly
classified, and very fresh CM1 meteorite!

Look at the photos - they?re worth seeing - even if not interested in buying!

This is only the 4th CM1 Meteorite found outside of Antarctica and (as
far as I know) the only CM1 currently for sale to the public.

These specimens weighed only 42 grams total and after cut loss and
donating 20% to the classifying university I have only 33.89 grams
left for sale, that's it!

While there have been a few (26 total) CM1 meteorites found most were
tiny fragments. It?s important to remember that the total known weight
of all CM1 meteorites combined is only about a kilo total. The bulk of
which is made up by Moapa Valley as it weighed 699 grams!

The 4 specimens I have for sale have jet black fusion crust and are
very fresh looking.
They include a 22.16 gram individual, 10.96 gram individual, .4647
gram crusted fragment, .306 gram crusted fragment.

Pricing is similar to Moapa Valley when it was sold nearly ten years
ago, but this one is far fresher and much less TKW.
