... which reminds me of the CR2's that Dean offered and still
offers. Dean announced some months ago that each of his CR2's
would be assigned a specific, provisional NWA number. And this
is what really happened. So my CR2 of 2.16 grams was assigned
the provisional NWA no.: 1078. If it does make sense, well, I
don't know. Of course, I was proud to be the owner of one of
the "individual" main masses - no matter how small this main
mass is (albeit a beautiful one because it looks pretty much like
an Apollo capsule - almost as if it was an oriented specimen :-)

Best regards from the soon-to be-proud owner of the new dark
NWA BL18 who is looking forward to his latest addition to his
collection and who envies the lucky one who purchased BL6 - an
almost perfectly regmaglypted asteroidal beauty. Wow, what an
awesome specimen ... probably acquired while I was washing and
polishing our car :-(
