Adam,

Thanx for the update. The NEA 001 is a very nice lunar. I have a nice thin 0.59 g slice from you that has a bit of light colored crust(I think) or caliche ?, and a noticeable blob of FE/Ni metal in it. This piece a real favorite.

Happy Holidays...time to play Santa.

HO HO HO

John

> congratulations to those who own some of it.
