Hello Everyone! We are happy to announce a NEW Saharan Iron-NWA 2677
(prov.)! This exceptional little iron is a new, and particularily
beautiful iron from the Saharan desert. It has been provisionally
classified as a IIICD (it appears to group closely to the IAB subclass
LM). Classification data will be submitted to the Nom. Com. shortly.
Saharan irons are rare and this one is particularly rare with a total
known weight prior to cutting of just 100 grams. After accounting for
the 21 grams being donated to Science as type specimens and cutting
losses, there are only about 60-65 grams available for collectors. This
lovely little iron has moderately high nickel content of 12.8% and is
quite stable. It has a very attractive etch! Please feel free to check
out the photos!
