Dear List Members,

I am still considering offers for my 530 gram pairing to NWA 011 for another
week. It represents the largest stone in this group. If you want to make an
offer, now is the time to do it. You never know, I may accept your offer so
do not be bashful! Here is the original post from last week regarding this
offer:

>>
I am sure everyone has heard of NWA 011 and its pairings NWA 2400 and NWA
2976. NWA 011 was originally thought to be from Mercury by Japanese
scientists in 2000 but since then it has been classified as ungrouped, very
cool all the same.

I have a 530 gram pairing that I acquired a few months ago which took
several months of negotiating to bring back from Morocco. I would like to
try and find a home for it intact. I am considering offers for a couple of
weeks and if I accept one, then we can do a couple things; 1) Keep it intact
and not have an NWA assigned but will come with a written statement from the
scientists at the University of Washington who examined it determining the
pairing, 2) Cut the stone and supply a 20 gram type sample to have an NWA
assigned or 3) If I do not receive an adequate offer to cover my costs than
I will cut it, submit a type sample and have an NWA number assigned, then
offer slices at a very competitive rate (One of the pairings was recently
being offered at $1,000.00 per gram).

Here is a link to a photo of the 530 gram complete stone:

If you are interested in making an offer or have any questions, please email
me off list at gmhupe_at_tampabay.rr.com and I should be able to make a
decision by September 8th, just before the Denver Mineral Show.

I have several excellent eBay auctions ending in a couple days. There are
the last four specimens of my new CO 3.2, NWA 4441, several 1-kilo lots of
unclassified material, planetary meteorites and just too many cool things to
list here. To see all that I have currently available, go to eBay and search
for items by seller, NaturesVault.

Best regards and Thank You for looking and/or bidding,

Greg
P.S. To all of my fellow Floridians, be safe during the storm!
