Hi Friends and Collectors,

I am offering a great deal on a two-kilo lot of unclassified Saharan
meteorites. There are many uncut individuals in this lot. Many have
fusion crust, chondrules, oriented shapes, or other desirable
features. This lot would be ideal for cutting or resale.

Use coupon code "metlist" at checkout for 20% OFF the price!

Description below :

This is a premium cigar box filled with over two kilograms (approx.
2018 grams or nearly 4.5 pounds) of unclassified stony meteorites.
Previously, I have offered kilo-sized lots of meteorites in a cigar
box, but this is the largest and nicest lot I have offered to date.
The box is almost double the size of previous boxes, and it holds
double the typical amount of meteorites. For cigar connoisseurs, this
box of 32 cigars costs over $800 when purchased new. Although the
cigars are not included. you get all the paper work and inserts from
Arturo Fuente - the color presentation card, the humidor packet, and
the black ribbon. This is by far, the classiest box of meteorites you
will find.

The meteorites were recovered from the Saharan Desert in the early
1990's and have resided in a single collection since their sale now. I
acquired these directly from the owner who bought them on an
expedition to Morocco in the days just prior to the gold rush of
so-called "NWA" meteorites. These stones were hand-picked from a
larger lot of five kilograms. Many of these stones have desert varnish
and some have fusion crust. All of them are uncut and have only been
lightly cleaned with a soft brush to remove sand and dust.

The storage box is a wooden cigar box from the Arturo Fuente Opus X
Reserva De Chateau brand of cigars. This is a premium brand of cigars
and a full box of these cigars costs $800. In this case, you get the
heavy box that is made of wood and has brass hardware. This is not a
cheapie box of thin or fake wood. It still has the original color lid
insert.

Judging by appearances and magnetic attraction, the majority of these
meteorites are L and H chondrites. Some show chondrules on the surface
and many of these might be worth cutting open or slicing. There is a
total of 2018 grams of stones (a little over 1 kilogram). Some of
these are small and would be great for gifting. Others are larger and
would make nice hand specimens. Others have features that might make
them good for cutting or slicing.
