Dear Collectors,

Chladni?s Heirs decided to herald the new year with a beat of the drum
in making a representative of an established type for the first time
available to the collector:
NWA 4765
The first CM1 outside of Antarctica.

A glance into the Bulletin Database teaches us, that so far 12 tiny stones,
some of them paired, were found in Antarctica
with a combined tkw of a mere 105grams.

We are well aware of the importance of the new find, especially for the
type-collectors, who wished for years to fill the gap left of Murchison in
their showcases,
Alas, here the dilemma starts:? Like the Antarctic CM1, NWA 4765 was a
small, fresh stone of only 19grams
and by far we won?t be able to comply with all requests.

Find the few available specimens and the detailed description on our Special
page.
Prices for slices are 1250$/g.

For the unlikely case, that the main mass won?t be sold, exists the
possibility, that we could slice it up and will retrieve a few more slices.
Therefore, if you find the other slices already sold out, let us immediately
know, whether you want to apply for another specimen.

The second part of our special is perhaps not so sensational as the first,
but nevertheless isn?t half bad:

NWA 5037
A new and fresh CM2.

Spoiled from the good availability of Murchison, we?re surprised, how stingy
the hot deserts are in bringing forward CM2 to the collectorship:? If we let
Dho 735 as metamorphosed CM aside, there were in the recent decade not more
than 7 CM2s recovered in the hot deserts with a total weight of slightly
below 2kgs, whereof only Acfer 331 is at present available without
difficulties.

NWA 5037
is with a weathering degree of W0/1 a wonderfully fresh meteorite, the 3
fragments of that find displayed partially still some fusion crust.
As you can see, it is a CM2 of a very classic habit, an exemplary
representative of his class
and at that price certainly a tempting addition for your collection.
Also here the supply is limited, weighed the stones not more than 65 grams.
In our special are presented all available specimens:

Priced at 60-65$/gram
(to serve you best, please tell 2 alterative slices with your order, for the
case, the desired specimen will have already gone).

Now we wish you a peace- and successful 2008 !
