Martin, we were discussing Dho 910 yesterday, this one to me is almost
identical, just different colors in the mixed matrix, while 910 is grey/blue
and white, this one is white, black, yellow, green, and about all the other
colors in between.
Whatever you want to call it, it is a stunning meteorite and on display in
my room.
Thanks
Mike

>> Hi everyone.
>> It has been an extremely hectic and busy week in Tucson, Eric Olsen, Jim
>> Strope and I, have been setting up our room and shopping, so no report
> from
>> Tucson until now.
>>
>> First thing first. Jim Strope and I have purchased the newest Lunar
>> meteorite to grace private collections. It is NWA 2995, a simply
>> unbelievably beautiful Lunar breccia. So fresh it is Weathering 0-1, and
> so
>> gorgeous it took my breath away. We bought the stone on the spot.
>> It weighs 538 grams total, and is so fresh and full of clasts, that when
>> sliced, it will likely be among the most beautiful Lunar meteorite ever
>> offered to collectors.

>>
>> Let us know what you think about this!
>>
>> See for yourself, then come to Inn Suites, Room 184 and see it in person.
>> It will blow your mind. While none will be available for sale until after
>> the show, we will have more Lunar and Mars specimens in our room that
> will
>> likely be available in all of the rest of the rooms in Tucson.
>>
>> Now for the rest of the show. Technically, it opens tomorrow, so some
> rooms
>> are still not open, but many are, so we have been running all over the
> city
>> back and forth looking for goodies. I have already scored some of the
>> best
>> flight-oriented Sikhote-Alin meteorites that could exist. We also have
>> 3-5
>> kilo Pallasite slices. The shipment from DHL arrived today, so Sunday we
>> will have over 500 kilos of solid, handpicked NWA chondrites for sale,
> more
>> than anywhere. I have seen very little available at any Moroccan tables.
>>
>> Steve Arnold is set up, and has more Brenham than has ever been seen in
> one
>> place, and I must admit, I might be a tad jealous of the oriented one on
>> display, it is a stunning find of a lifetime. I wonder if Steve will ever
>> top that? And if he does, I have to see that.
>>
>> Anyway, I am tired, and have a ton of work to do tonight, so this will
>> end
>> my first Tucson report.
